SAS Fleet Airbus A340-300 Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

SAS operates the A340-300 on medium to long-haul flights, mostly intercontinental flights.

This aircraft has a three classes configuration and it flies with 40 Business Class seats, 28 SAS Plus seats, and 179 Economy Class seats.

The Business Class seats have an additional 3 inches when lying flat, converting from 20” in seating mode to 23” in sleep mode.

SAS has revamped its domestic and European service classes, replacing the Economy, Economy Extra and Business with two new products: SAS Go and SAS Plus.

The new services came into effect on June 2013.

The A340-300 is a species of planes that have slowly become extinct, in favor of more fuel-efficient aircraft like the 787 Dreamliner or A350.

Still, SAS has chosen the A340-300 as the aircraft of choice for many routes to America.

The cabin is slightly larger, with the addition of the mini-cabin in rows 9 and 10.

With 8 more seats, the A340-300 has a total business class capacity of 40 seats, as opposed to the A330-300’s 32 seats.

The configuration and seat are exactly the same: 23-24 inches wide, 61 inches in seat pitch, and 77 inches long in bed mode in a 1-2-1 configuration with direct aisle access and fully lie-flat Thompson XL Vantage seats.

Another thing you’ll notice besides the mini-cabin at the back are the 2 lavatories directly in between the 2 business class sections.

Interestingly, the forward lavatory is used only by crew members, which means that all business class passengers must use the 2 lavatories directly in front of row 9.

For this reason, row 1 seats are absolutely unbeatable.

These seats are bulkhead seats, which means tons of extra legroom from a huge footwell (basically an ottoman), and very little foot traffic due to lavatory traffic being at the back of the cabin.

If you need the legroom of bulkhead seats but row 1 seats are all taken, row 9 is also a bulkhead row featuring more legroom.

A warning, however, is that all bathroom and most galley traffic is in your direct vicinity, which may be inconvenient for you.

Nonetheless, it’s still an option.

If you want the most private window seat, you can pick either 2A or 2H.

These seats don’t enjoy the legroom of the bulkhead, but they’re almost as far as you can get away from the foot traffic.

Additionally, the side table partitioning the seat from the aisle offers another layer of separation for optimal privacy.

There are a lot of nuances on the A340-300 that may not seem obvious at all.

Upon further inspection, there are a lot of qualifiers and distinctions that will undoubtedly affect your seat choices.
