Can't imagine why this isn't done on the same page where you log in your flight choices. It's one more unnecessary click. You nailed it, Gerry! Poorly done.

I'm thinking the SAS web site could use your suggestion for a new campaign: "SAS online: Preparing you with every click for an equally painful flying experience." Nina — Funny comment!

Unfortunately, it's still on the Irish one--they obviously don't like us. Thanks very much for the compliments on the writing, Hexxie--appreciated. It's strange, Nina, isn't it, sometimes you feel that the organization is out to get you; that they are deliberately setting out to make life difficult. Well, with the Web, the customer can fight back ... Great to hear that it’s gone from the Italian site, Gianandrea. Unfortunately, it’s still on the Irish one–they obviously don’t like us.

The SAS website is a horrible experience. But I came to think, that maybe, SAS is just trying to resemble the experience of flying as much as they can? For instance: 1. I takes forever to do the simplest things (checking in - security checking, and so on) It also takes forever to do the simplest things on their website! 2. You can't find anything (because you have chosen the cheapest flight, you always end up in some sort of absurd terminal you have never seen before) It takes forever to find relevant information on the website! 3. There is an annoying voice over, that you can't get rid of (Either going: "flight xkjhdu now boarding" or "Please do not leave any loggage unattended" or "This is your captain speaking") Well you already said it! ...hmmm, don't they know that flying is just a horrible time consuming experience, that we just whish, we could do without?
