SAS A350-900 Seat Selection Guide (2026)
✈️ Quick Verdict
All six SAS A350-900s fly the same 40 Business / 32 SAS Plus / 228 SAS Go layout — 300 seats, no version lottery. Business is a staggered Thompson Vantage XL 1-2-1 where even rows (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) are window-true and odd rows sit by the aisle. Best seats: Business 6A / 6H, SAS Plus 20H, SAS Go 30A / 30J and 31C / 31G. Avoid 9H, 21A / 21H (no window) and 40B.

No Version Lottery — But There Is a Widebody Lottery
All six A350-900s carry the identical 40J/32W/228M cabin, so the seat you research now is the seat you get. The real gamble is which widebody SAS assigns to your route: the eight A330-300s are configured very differently.
| A350-900 | A330-300 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet | 6 | 8 |
| Total seats | 300 | 266 |
| Business | 40 | 32 |
| SAS Plus | 32 | 56 |
| SAS Go | 228 | 178 |
Booking SAS Plus on points? The A330 has nearly twice as many premium economy seats. Want Business? The A350 has eight more. Check the total seat count at booking — 300 seats is the A350, 266 is the A330.
SAS Business — Rows 1–10, 40 Seats
Thompson Aero Vantage XL in a staggered 1-2-1. Every one of the 40 seats has direct aisle access. Seat letters are A · D · F · H — there is no K. Rows 1–8 form the forward cabin (32 seats) with a refreshment bar behind it at door 2L; rows 9–10 are an eight-seat rear mini-cabin.
Specs: 22" wide · 180° recline to a 78" fully flat bed · 18.5" HD touchscreen · 110V AC + two USB-A · bi-fold tray with device holder. No privacy doors, no Bluetooth audio, no wireless charging, no personal air vents.
Even rows (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) are window-true. The seat sits hard against the fuselage with the console on the aisle side — the private position. Odd rows (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are aisle-true: set inboard, easier to get out of, noticeably more exposed. The centre D/F seats sit as a true pair in every row.
✅ Best in Business
- 6A / 6H — top pick. Window-true position and the strongest window alignment in the cabin
- 2A, 2H, 4A, 4H, 8A, 8H — window-true and shielded from the aisle; 4A/4H also get two windows
- 10A, 10D, 10F, 10H — quietest, in the eight-seat rear mini-cabin (bassinets mount on the wall behind)
- 3D+3F or 5D+5F — true centre pairs clear of both galleys, best for couples
- 1A, 1H, 4A, 4H — two window apertures aligned to the seat
🚫 Seats to avoid in Business
- 9H — immediately beside the lavatory ahead: door noise, odours and a queue at your shoulder. The worst seat in Business
- 9A — same lavatory zone, less severe
- 8D — mid-cabin galley and refreshment bar directly behind; light and clatter through service
- Row 1 — forward galley and two lavatories immediately ahead
- Any odd-row A/H — fine seats, but aisle-true; book an even row if privacy is why you paid
SAS Plus (Premium Economy) — Rows 20–23, 32 Seats
Collins Aerospace MiQ in a 2-4-2 across four rows only, so the cabin sells out early. Letters A-B | C-D-E-F | G-H. Specs: 38" pitch · 19" width · 8" recline · 13.3" screen · 110V AC + USB-A · four-way headrest.
There is no lavatory or galley attached to the SAS Plus cabin — the nearest are forward at door 2 through Business, or back in Economy behind row 38.
✅ Best in SAS Plus
- 20H — top pick. Bulkhead window with the full outboard legroom and no bassinet at this position
- 20A, 20B, 20G — the outboard pairs get genuine bulkhead space, unlike the centre block
- 22A/22B, 23A/23B and the G/H equivalents — two-seat pairs with proper window alignment
- 22A, 22H, 23A, 23H — correct alignment without the bulkhead trade-offs
🚫 Seats to avoid in SAS Plus
- 21A, 21H — no window at all. A blank wall in a cabin you paid extra for
- 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F — bulkhead wall only 54–55cm ahead, no underseat storage, tray and screen in the armrest (narrower seat)
- 20A, 20C, 20F, 20G — bassinet mounting positions
- 20D, 20E, 21D, 21E, 22D, 22E, 23D, 23E — true middle seats of the centre block
SAS Go (Economy) — Rows 30–56, 228 Seats
3-3-3 throughout, letters A-B-C | D-E-F | G-H-J. Specs: 31" pitch · 18" width · 6" recline · 11.6" screen · bi-fold table with bottle holder. A snack shop sits at the rear. The cabin splits at the door 3 galley: rows 30–39 forward (78 seats), rows 40–56 rear (150 seats).
⚠️ The power warning
SAS Go has USB-A only. There is no AC outlet anywhere in Economy on this aircraft, and no USB-C. On a 10-hour Copenhagen–Los Angeles sector a laptop will not survive. Bring a battery pack.
Four rows that are not full 3-3-3
| Row | What's missing | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | No C, no G | 30B and 30H have open floor beside them; 31C and 31G get open floor ahead |
| 39 | No D, E, F | The centre lavatory block starts here |
| 40 | No A; no G, H, J (door 3) | 41A, 41G, 41H and 41J get extra legroom |
| 56 | No A, B, C, G, H, J | Rear lavatory banks occupy those columns |
✅ Best in SAS Go
- 30A / 30J — front row of Economy: extra legroom and a properly aligned window
- 31C / 31G — no seat ahead at 30C or 30G, so open floor without paying for a bulkhead
- 41A / 41G — row 40 has no seat in these columns; open floor ahead, and 41A is a window
- 42J, 45A, 47J, 50A, 52J — the best window alignment in Economy
- 34J, 35A, 35J, 42A, 43A, 44J, 47A, 49J, 52A — two apertures aligned to the seat
🚫 Seats to avoid in SAS Go
- Row 38 (all nine) — hard against the mid-cabin lavatory bank: traffic, door noise, odours
- Row 39 — same lavatory bank plus the door 3 galley complex
- Row 37 — lavatories directly behind; 37D and 37F worst
- 40B — no window at all, plus lavatories ahead. The extra legroom is not compensation
- 40C, 40D, 40E, 40F — bulkhead, but bassinets mount at 40D/40F and the door 3 lavatories are ahead
- Rows 54, 55, 56 — rear lavatory banks and the snack shop. Row 55 is the worst full row on the aircraft
- Poor window alignment — 36A, 36J, 37A, 37J, 41J, 44A, 45J, 48A, 49A, 50J, 53A, 55J

FAQ
Which SAS A350 Business seats are the most private?
Even-numbered rows. On the staggered Vantage XL layout, rows 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 place the A and H seats hard against the fuselage with the console on the aisle side. 6A and 6H are the best because they also have the strongest window alignment.
Are there any SAS A350 seats with no window?
Three: 21A and 21H in SAS Plus, and 40B in SAS Go. Twelve more Economy seats have poor alignment — 36A, 36J, 37A, 37J, 41J, 44A, 45J, 48A, 49A, 50J, 53A and 55J.
Does SAS Go have power outlets?
No AC outlets — USB-A only, and no USB-C. Business and SAS Plus both have 110V AC sockets.
Is SAS Plus worth the upgrade?
On paper yes: 38" pitch against 31", 19" width against 18", 8" recline against 6", a 13.3" screen and an AC outlet. The catch is that the cabin is only 32 seats across four rows, so it prices high and sells out early.
Which rows should I avoid in SAS Go?
Rows 38 and 39 against the mid-cabin lavatory bank, and rows 54, 55 and 56 against the rear bank with the snack shop behind. Row 55 is the worst full row. Also skip 40B.
Are all six SAS A350s the same inside?
Yes — all six are 40J/32W/228M with the same seats. The variable is whether SAS operates your route with the A350 or the 266-seat A330-300.
