MORNING DAWNS
About two hours before landing , the cabin lights began to rise , slowly turning from the deep blue of the nighttime cabin to the golden glow of sunrise , to standard white daytime lighting .
The cabin crew appeared with breakfast : a meat , cheese , fruit and vegetable plate , yogurt , granola , a roll and juice . And , this time , a fork !
Overall , the food served in SAS Plus tasted very good , was served at the appropriate temperatures , was nicely plated , and was quickly and efficiently presented by the cabin crew .

As anticipated , we landed ahead of schedule . As we taxied , I , as an American , was thrilled to see aircraft of airlines I had previously only read about : Ryanair ( FR ), EasyJet ( U2 ), and Norwegian ( DY ). And I was equally excited to see narrow-bodies operated by Lufthansa ( LH ), Air France ( AF ), and British Airways ( BA ), which are only present in wide-body form in the US .
