There are network airlines; there are charter airlines, regional airlines, commuter airlines; and there are the so-called low cost airlines. Although there is no official defi nition of a “low cost” airline, the general perception in the market is that these airlines offer very low prices to the consumer while at the same time reducing the services offered to a minimum. On the other hand, they impose various charges for each and every additional feature the customer may want to make use of and often serve airports far away from the fi nal destination of the customer. Furthermore, the various charges of these airlines are often so non-transparent, that you frequently cannot even fi nd out what the total price of your journey actually will be. The result might not at all be “low cost” for you. Some airlines charge you for using a credit card when you book and pay for your journey. Some charge you for using the check-in counter and even for issuing a boarding card. Some charge you for checking ina bag, and many have exorbitant prices for food and drinks onboard. On top of this, you might be landing some 100 kilometers from the city that actually is your fi nal destination, resulting in signifi cant costs for ground transfers and last but not least, loss of valuable time. While customers now have a wide choice of travel options, it can often be concluded that “low cost” is far from what it claims to be. Adding all the components, you will find that travel with SAS is often the most attractive alternative, not only because we are fl ying tomain airports, but also because we take good care of you during your whole trip. Also when you have paid a low price with us, you Wonderful Copenhagen choose your seat before boarding and you get the small simple things, like your free newspaper.We also take good care of you and take our full responsibility, should there be an irregularity of some kind, making sure you reach your fi nal destination as fast as possible, sometimes in good cooperation with our Star Alliance partners. And there will be no surprises and no hidden costs. Furthermore, SAS can offer you one of the most attractive frequent fl yer programs on the market, and we provide you with a network of routes and connections to, from and within the Nordic region that cannot be matched by any “low cost” airline.

Amarelli Fabbrica di Liquirizia Contrada Amarelli, Rossano, Italy. www.amarelli.it 18 ˆ Photo Finnish ART Recently photographers including Ville Lenkkeri, Miklos Gaál and Tiina Itkonen have been drawing attention to Finnish photography with numerous exhibitions across Europe. These three have one thing in common: along with the 40 other photographers now known collectively as the Helsinki School, they have either attended, graduated or taught at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. As a result, they have been trained to see themselves as artists rather than photojournalists and express themselves through a consistent conceptual approach. Although their styles vary there is a lyrical and melancholic quality in their work. “It’s about using the camera as a vehi- cle for thought,” says Timothy Persons, senior lecturer at the university and curator of the university’s Gallery TaiK, which since 2003 has had its permanent exhibition space in the happening art district of Mitte in Berlin. Karin Ström Licorice that sticks CANDY For thousands of years, one of the best places to grow licorice has been by the Ionian Sea near Rossano in Calabria, Italy. The plants, which seed themselves, start to grow wherever they fi nd a fertile patch of ground. Licorice was originally used as stomach medicine and the Amarelli family in Rossano started to produce an extract from wild licorice root in the 16th century. In 1731 they built a factory that is still used today, and they continue to work with the same traditional refi ning methods. The licorice root is chopped, ground and cooked to produce a rubbery substance that is shaped into rods and cut into smaller pieces before being left to dry. There’s nothing artifi cial about Amarelli licorice. It is 75% pure licorice; the rest is water. A natural, slightly bitter taste dominates, with a myriad of other nuances: salt, sugar, fl owers, earth, sea … The only additive is the chocolate, anise, orange or mint that coats some of the licorice pastilles before they are packed into small tin boxes.

Amarelli Fabbrica di Liquirizia Contrada Amarelli, Rossano, Italy. www.amarelli.it 18 ˆ Photo Finnish ART Recently photographers including Ville Lenkkeri, Miklos Gaál and Tiina Itkonen have been drawing attention to Finnish photography with numerous exhibitions across Europe. These three have one thing in common: along with the 40 other photographers now known collectively as the Helsinki School, they have either attended, graduated or taught at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. As a result, they have been trained to see themselves as artists rather than photojournalists and express themselves through a consistent conceptual approach. Although their styles vary there is a lyrical and melancholic quality in their work. “It’s about using the camera as a vehi- cle for thought,” says Timothy Persons, senior lecturer at the university and curator of the university’s Gallery TaiK, which since 2003 has had its permanent exhibition space in the happening art district of Mitte in Berlin. Karin Ström Licorice that sticks CANDY For thousands of years, one of the best places to grow licorice has been by the Ionian Sea near Rossano in Calabria, Italy. The plants, which seed themselves, start to grow wherever they fi nd a fertile patch of ground. Licorice was originally used as stomach medicine and the Amarelli family in Rossano started to produce an extract from wild licorice root in the 16th century. In 1731 they built a factory that is still used today, and they continue to work with the same traditional refi ning methods. The licorice root is chopped, ground and cooked to produce a rubbery substance that is shaped into rods and cut into smaller pieces before being left to dry. There’s nothing artifi cial about Amarelli licorice. It is 75% pure licorice; the rest is water. A natural, slightly bitter taste dominates, with a myriad of other nuances: salt, sugar, fl owers, earth, sea … The only additive is the chocolate, anise, orange or mint that coats some of the licorice pastilles before they are packed into small tin boxes. These pastilles are like the seeds of the plants they are made from – when they fi nd someone who likes them they start to grow on them.

Lots include a magic lantern and an Irving Penn portrait of the great director Lights, camera, auction! INVESTMENT This month Bukowskis auction house in Stockholm is selling the private possessions of one of the world’s most famous film directors, Ingmar Bergman (19182007). It’s hoped that some Hollywood heavy hitters – or well-to-do fans in Italy and Germany, where Bergman was hugely popular – will be among the bidders. The 350 lots for sale are part of a unique collection, and the auction was initiated by Bergman’s family according to his last wishes. In his will he wrote specifically that “no discussion or emotional tumult must come as a result.” The senior curator at Bukowskis, Tom Österman, and two colleagues spent a week at Bergman’s estate on the Baltic Sea island of Fårö (the four buildings are for sale through Christie’s of London) to make an inventory of all the items. And they uncovered some real finds: A black-and-white portrait by photographer Irving Penn ($25,000$38,000), taken during an assignment in Sweden for Look magazine in 1964, signed “With greetings and many thanks, Irving Penn.” 22 An 18th-century grandfather clock, whose ticking inspired Bergman to use it in several films ($2,500-$3,200). A lithograph of Swedish author August Strindberg (1896) by Edvard Munch ($45,000). Two items might be of particu- lar interest to film buffs. The magic lantern that Bergman played with as a kid ($2,500-$3,800), and the chessboard used in The Seventh Seal, which won the Special Jury Prize at the 1957 Cannes Film Festival ($1,300-$1,900).

Catch of the b</a> ay DINING You know how it is when you are exploring a new city and you discover a truly authentic part of it. It can be a square, a block or a neglected neighborhood, but suddenly you feel as though you have come close to the soul of the city, like you have found a secret treasure. Vallons des Auffes in Marseille is just like that. It’s a small, idyllic bay just outside the city center with well- preserved parts of the original city. Picturesque houses shoulder each other in narrow spaces, against a soundtrack of fishing boats arriving with the catch of the day and old men chattering with each other on the benches by the harbor. But everything isn’t as it seems in Vallons des Auffes. It has become one of Marseille’s more luxurious neighborhoods. Those small houses are home to politicians, movie stars and business executives. Two of the city’s most prominent restaurants are here: Chez Fonfon and the Michelinstarred L’Epuisette. Both focus on seafood and both are excellent. Chez Fonfon has been around since 1952, offering affordable three-course meals and an irresistible langoustine with saffron butter. Thirty steps away from Chez Fonfon is L’Epuisette, which has a breathtaking location on a cliff that juts out into the ocean. L’Epuisette’s claim to fame is its bouillabaisse, which might just be the best in the world. Annina Rabe ˆ Chez Fonfon 140, Vallon des Auffes.

Thomas Sjölin, Managing Director of Swiss Post Scandinavia Swiss Post International Scandinavia was established earlier this year. Swiss Post International, founded in 1996, is the international arm of Swiss Post. Today it is the world’s third largest supplier of international mail services with offices and partners in Europe, Asia and North America. “Companies involved in cross-border mailing have the opportunity to deliver both quality and efficiency in a completely new way, and the level of service has increased substantially” says Thomas Sjölin, Managing Director of Swiss Post Scandinavia. International mailing competition in Scandinavia was further increased when “International mailing has become a service like any other where efficiency and excellence in quality are key to competition. With the new organization of Swiss Post International Scandinavia, we are well positioned to compete with the merged Danish/Swedish Post on international mailing” ended Thomas Sjölin. www.swisspost.se www.swisspost.dk www.swisspost.com Advertorial <a href="/v5/viewer/files/Default_s.aspx?gKey=nk92c2qx&gInitPage=50">Scanorama september nr 9 Frecnh resistance </a>   Words by MICHAEL DEE Photographs by JEFFERY RICHT LONDON, ENGLAND The French House on Dean Street in the heart of Soho is not your average pub.

When corporate wars break out,the corporate lawyer is a good friend to have in the trenches. C laes Lundblad was recruited by Swedish-Finnish law firm Roschier in 2008 to develop the firm’s dispute resolution group.It was perfect timing.For since the economic crisis hit in the autumn of 2008, the number of commercial disputes has exploded. “We see several disputes right now over acquisitions that have gone sour,” says Lundblad. “New owners find that the company they bought may not be worth the amount originally agreed upon. The purchaser’s expectations are not always met and this may trigger the purchaser to carefully consider the means by which he can obtain a price reduction. On the financial side, loans fall due because the conditions of the loans are not kept,which often results in foreclosures and security enforcement. As recently reported in the media, there are several ways in which disputes may arise in such a context.” Jonas Wetterfors, a partner at Swedish firm Hellström & Partners, has witnessed the same development. “Disputes are rife in a recession,” he declares. “For instance, there might be guarantees in a purchase agreement that are no longer upheld, and then the other party will demand either a reduction of the purchase price or that the agreement is cancelled completely.” In Norway,too,law firms have seen a profound change in the nature of the services they provide.SaysPer Morten Christiansen,a banking and finance specialist with Steenstrup Stordrange, one of Norway’s largest domestic law firms: “Acouple of years ago we had lots of leveraged buyouts, real estate and shipping transactions and so on, but this was significantly reduced midway through last year. Instead, we now see a substantial increase in the number of defaults on those contracts which now have to be renegotiated because those same companies are simply unable to meet the terms of the covenants.” This year, Steenstrup Stordrange, with 110 lawyers in all major cities across the country, has reallocated resources to cope with the increased demand from companies in crisis. Having to renegotiate contracts due to acute financial difficulties is “Disputes are rife in a recession.” JONAS WETTERFORS, HELLSTRÖM & PARTNERS “not exactly fun” as Christiansen puts it, compared to the feel-good factor of helping new businesses develop and expand in good times. But it is still a necessary and important part of the job. Is the Norwegian state benevolent towards companies in trouble? “Providing a business can be restructured, the legal framework offers a good deal of flexibility as to which solutions may be applied,but if insolvency legislation is applicable,the rules are mandatory and limit the flexibility of the parties. “We have no Chapter 11 system here,as in the US,or an administration system as in the UK”, he continues. “Often, the only course open for these companies is liquidation, and as legal advisors,we have to try and explore every avenue to help the companies stay afloat.” The majority of commercial disputes are handled through arbitration rather than through state court proceedings.Arbitration is faster, confidential and flexible. Further, the parties have great freedom to shape the procedure as they see fit, either by agreeing on procedural ➤ <a href="/v5/viewer/files/Default_s.aspx?gKey=nk92c2qx&gInitPage=76">Scanorama september nr 9 Page 76 How arbitration w</a> orks ● The claimant files a request for arbitration and appoints an arbitrator. ➤ issues in the arbitration agreement or by entering into agreements during the procedure. Since the parties normally appoint one arbitrator each, they ensure that the arbitrators have the appropriate qualifications in order to be able to reach a professional conclusion. When it comes to international disputes are nearly always solved by arbitration.According to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards,an arbitral award is recognized and enforced in 140 countries worldwide, which is a clear advantage when entering into cross border business contracts. Arbitration is often handled in a country other than those of the parties, and for years Sweden, with its reputation for neutrality and impartiality, has been a popular location. This has provided a considerable amount of work for Swedish law firms, but the brunt of the arbitration work still comes from Swedish companies entering into disputes with foreign firms. “The handiwork – in other words, how you handle the arbitration in practice – does not differ verymuch,” saysLundblad. “It is far more important that the lawyer you choose to represent you is experienced in running commercial disputes rahter than that he or she has a deep knowledge of the applicable law in the particular case. That kind of expertise can be added to the extent required.” ■ ● The respondent answers the request for arbitration and appoints an arbitrator. ● The arbitrators (generally three, but can be more or less if previously agreed in the contract) must be impartial.

When recession strikes,companies are forced to downsize, dra matically increasing the flow of assignments for the employment law specialist. W inds of change have been blowing hard and fast through the front doors of Nordic law firms – and those who specialize in employment law are in great demand. “About a year ago we were mainly dealing with employment law in connection with due diligence,” says Magnus Wallander, one of 20 employment lawyers at Mannheimer Swartling of Sweden. “ This has now almost entirely been replaced by restructurings and terminations.” The figures tell their own story. In mid-2009, unemployment in Sweden was at 5 percent and climbing, while the number of young people out of work (29.7 percent) had more than doubled in one year. Despite continuing harmonization within the European Union, employment law is generally a local concern and the method of implementing the EU directives governing labor laws differs between the member states. The Swedish system, quite typical of the Nordic area, is based on negotiation and agreement between unions and employers’ organizations.For this reason, most employment lawyers have worked for this type of organization rather than for independent law firms.However, the landscape is slowly changing as more firms build up their expertise to meet the demands of the recession. “The majority of our clients are the Swedish units of international companies,” says Wallander. “In general they are not members of Swedish employers’ organizations and are not familiar with Swedish employment law.” Despite the service provided by the Swedish employers’ organisa- tions, many law firms have noted an increase in the volume of assignments coming from companies covered by collective wage agreements. Foreign companies and owners don’t always trust the parties operating on the Swedish labour market, but there can be other reasons too. “At times,the employers’ organizations are not able to offer all the services needed by the companies,while we are,” says Johan Karlman,employment lawyer at Hellström & Partners. “We work as strategic advisors to the HR function all through the process.” The Norwegians, on the other hand, seem to have fared somewhat better in the global turmoil, but unemployment is climbing here, too. According to the labour authority NAV, the average unemployment rate will rise to 3.1 per cent in 2009 and 4.2 percent in 2010.Considering that the forecast in February was only 2.7 per cent,this leap in such a short time is alarming. Jan L. Backer,who heads up Norwegian law firm Wikborg Rein’s department for employment law, says: “We are definitely busier now, mainly for two reasons;people have become much more aware of their legal rights and, as a result, companies are more careful and seek legal advice before they take action.” Despite the fact that it is only a short plane ride from Stockholm to Oslo, there are differences in the way employment law is practiced in the two countries. For instance, Backer says, while Sweden tends to practice the rule of seniority,Norway tends to put a little more emphasis on qualifications. “The individual’s rights are respected in Norwegian labor life as much as in Sweden, but from a legal perspective we tend to place a little more emphasis on qualifications. Whenever a company has to downsize there is always a risk that you lose competence so we often advise our clients to talk first to the people they really need to keep for the future. In our experience, the most competent people are usually the first ones to get new jobs,” he says. How long is employment law likely to remain in high demand among Nordic law firms? Backer is cautiously optimistic. “No-one knows when companies will start hiring again, but we can already see some indications that it is beginning to pick up speed.” ■ <a href="/v5/viewer/files/Default_s.aspx?gKey=nk92c2qx&gInitPage=78">Scanorama september nr 9 Page 78 </a>                                                                                                                                                   <a href="/v5/viewer/files/Default_s.aspx?gKey=nk92c2qx&gInitPage=79">Scanorama september nr 9 Page 79 SPECIAL ADVERTISI</a> NG SUPPLEMENT INTERNATIONAL LAW On neutral ground The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce is one of the oldest arbitral institutions in the world. It is also one of the busiest. Every year, parties from some 30-40 countries convene in the Swedish capital to solve commercial disputes – a number that continually increases. is considered a just and upright country.” This explains, partially,why Stockholm has become one of the world’s most important seats of arbitration. Another reason for this is an agreement between the USA and the former Soviet Union, reached in 1977, stating that all commercial disputes between parties from the two superpowers should be resolved in Stockholm. “When trade between the US and the Soviet Union picked up in the 1970s, the countries wanted a neutral arena for any commercial disputes that might occur,” saysFranke,who has worked at the SCC since 1975 and has followed the institute’s development fromfour to five cases annually, to more than 100 today. “Adelegation from the two countries reviewed a number of insti- A tutes around the world before finally settling on Stockholm,” he recalls. “Sweden’s long history of neutrality was a decisive factor.” During the Soviet era, the number of cases tried was fairly small, as the country’s foreign trade was centralized to some 100 organizations. After the fall of communism, the number of cases has increased exponentially as companies from the former Soviet republics still prefer to come to Stockholm, as do the Chinese. “There is a rumor that there was a handbook for business leaders in China which said that you should insist three times that a dispute should be resolved in China before you could settle for Stockholm,” relates Franke, with a smile. “Naturally, you would rather that a dispute is solved in your own country and according to its own laws, but that really depends on the negotiating power of the parties involved. We handle most of the disputes involving a Chinese party taking place outside China,but 90 percent of all Chinese disputes are still settled in China.” SCC administers the arbitration as well as the financial aspects. A case begins when a claimant files a request for arbitration at SCC. The institute then makes sure an arbitral tribunal is appointed. This ccording to Ulf Franke, Secretary General at The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), arbitration is “a business based on trust,and Sweden “This is a business based on trust,and Sweden is considered a just and upright country.” ULF FRANKE, SCC consists of three arbitrators – two appointed by the parties and a chairperson, who is appointed by SCC. The parties then file petitions, statements of claim and statements of defence. The parties are then summoned by the arbitral tribunal to a hearing. The result is either a settlement or an award. As opposed to dispute settlements in court, arbitration can never be contested. The parties can protest if they feel there has been a procedural error, but the final decision cannot be appealed or overturned. “This is why it is even more important that the parties consider the arbitration institute as neutral and fair,” concludes Franke. “Just and fair procedures are extremely important, and that’s why many companies elect to come to Stockholm.” EDITORIALPRODUCTION AND DESIGN: GREENWOOD COMMUNICATIONS AB FOR MORE INFORMATION ON SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENTS, PLEASE CALL THE SCANORAMA SALES DEPARTMENT, PHONE +46 709 97 03 40 ■ <a href="/v5/viewer/files/Default_s.aspx?gKey=nk92c2qx&gInitPage=80">Scanorama september nr 9 Page 80 WHITE & CASE ADVE</a> RTORIAL White & Case,the New York-based international law firm,opened its Stockholm office in 1983.

The slowdown of 2008/9,sparked by the crisis in the global finance markets, has not left the office unaffected, but Executive Partner Ulf Johansson is not unduly concerned. “Like all of our colleagues in Sweden we have seen a major shift in recent times away from mergers and acquisitions towards the legal aspects of restructuring, contractual disputes,employment law and similar issues,”he explains. “We have been able to quickly adapt to ensure that we provide our clients with what they need,and that’s where our global network has been of great value. “However, I also believe that this situation will change again fairly “Our global network has been of great value.” ULF JOHANSSON, WHITE & CASE soon.In my view,the Nordic area has not been as badly affected by the recession as other regions of Europe and the economic downturn here appears to have bottomed out.

Both the volume and character of the assignments the firm now takes on have changed markedly. Anna Sundberg,Administrative Partner, points out that the firm previously enjoyed a constant stream of short term, high-tempo assignments, and prided itself on meeting its clients’ needs for highspeed services. “Everything had to be done lightening-fast,” she says, “but we are used to that and we’re good at it.Now, the pace is much slower, the assignments are spread out over longer periods of time and these days, clients are more cautious. They tend to bring in the legal advisors at a later stage than before, ostensibly to save costs, which is not always the best method. “In order to keep the processes as simple as possible, which is even more vital now, the team size is of importance. Our way of working with smaller and focused teams, means that each individual lawyer is able to get a complete overviewof the assignment and is able to take responsibility right from the start,”Anna says. So is the legal profession expecting a return to normality sometime soon, or has the demand for its services been changed for ever? White & Case, for one, is banking on getting back to normality – not to the extraordinary high of just a few years ago, but to pre-boom stability. It is a viewbased on more than a century of experience.Founded in 1901, it is certainly not the first time that the firm has had to adapt to change – and in all probability it will not be the last. ■ WHITE & CASE ADVERTORIAL White & Case,the New York-based international law firm,opened its Stockholm office in 1983.

Airlines have traditionally offered upgrades for points; for example, through frequent flyer programs such as SAS EuroBonus.

Huge golf party at Barsebäck This year’s SAS Masters was decided at the end of July at Barsebäck in southern Sweden. It was an Argentinean victory, with Ricardo Gonzalez playing dream golf on the final day of competition, winning by two stokes over Welshman Jamie Donaldson. The best Scandinavian was Denmark’s Jeppe Huldahl in third place. This year’s contest was a hit with the xxxxxxxxx public, with around 107,000 spectators watching the action. Around 40 percent of them were EuroBonus members, enjoying free entry and great golf. Many found their way to the popular VIP Pavilion in prime position by the 18th green. Entry to the pavilion had to be restricted during the final two days due to the enormous interest. On the Wednesday, the greatly appreci- ated SAS Masters ProAm teed off, with 17 handpicked EuroBonus members playing with the pros. Henrik Stenson and Søren Kjeldsen were among the world-class players enjoying a great day’s golf on the competition course with the EuroBonus members.

Martin Hagedorn Tønnesen took along son Christoffer and surprised everyone by letting Christoffer, with his 21.7 handicap, take on Henrik Stenson while Martin caddied. The round with Stenson and his caddie Fanny Sunesson became an unforgettable golf memory and probably a brilliant start to Christoffer’s golf career. “The SAS Masters gives SAS a unique position in terms of its competitors. There are a lot of people interested in golf, and this sort of investment, which has a big audience, is so important when the economy is a bit tougher,” Martin says. availability of seats, and while there is also the opportunity to upgrade using EuroBonus points, there is no guarantee that an upgrade will always be available.

It letsmembers use their EuroBonus points for products, donations and auctions. The new SAS EuroBonus Shop is part of SAS’s efforts to make the EuroBonus program even better and givemembers moreways to spend their points. For members who travel a lot and have too many points, the SAS EuroBonus Shop is a welcome way to use points for much more than bonus travel, hotels and rental cars. And it also is ideal for members whose points do not add up to bonus travel – there are many great products in the shop available for purchase. “Feedback about the shop has been amazingly positive. Just in the first week, it had close to 21,000 visitors, and the first auction, for an exclusive TV from Philips, got a top bid of 536,000 points, with 647 bids sent in. SAS EuroBonus Shop has got a great start and overall a fantastic response,” says Ingrid Mattison-Gilsdorf, head of the SAS EuroBonus Shop. The shop has a huge variety of items, with something for everyone. The popular Smartbox is one of the latest hits, with ready-to-go experience packages including golf, adventure, food and drink, and hotel stays. “Over the summer, we had around 600 items in the shop, but the selection has grown, and we are getting in new products all the time. The prices from now on will also include taxes (with some exceptions) and freight. As well as giving recommendations based on a member’s points balance, we will also have special offers aimed at the different membership levels within EuroBonus.” The shop is accessible for EuroBonus members, via the EuroBonus pages on the SAS website. Depending on which national page you use, the site will switch to the correct language (Swedish, Danish or Norwegian) and currency. You can shop using points or a combination of points and cash (by card), but you must use at least one point for every purchase. You can book bonus travel, hotel and rental cars, as usual, at the same address on the SAS website. Tip! If you use your EuroBonus MasterCard or EuroBonus Diners Club card in the SAS EuroBonus Shop, you will earn points on the cash part of the purchase – just as always.

The official entry is expected by the end of the year. For SAS, thismeans a strong newAmerican partner with a comprehensive route network to and from New York (Newark) that provides great connections within the United States but also to South America. Continental Airlines, together with Continental Express and Continental Connection, has more than 2,800 daily departures in the Americas, Europe and Asia, serving 135 US and 132 international destinations. Continental Airlines is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. EuropeXpress extends inNorway EuropeXpress is the fastest and most reliable way of sending express shipments within Scandinavia.

SAS put Scandinavia on the map SAS became the world’s fi rst multinational airline when the Norwegians, Danes and Swedes joined forces on August 1, 1946, and Scandinavian Airlines System was born. Discussions had started back in April 1937 between the national airlines DNL (Norway), DDL (Denmark) and ABA (Sweden). A letter of intent about pooled transatlantic traffic was signed at a meeting in Copenhagen on April 6, 1940. But three days later, Denmark and Norwaywere attacked by Germany during World War II, and the cooperation was postponed. The 1946 negotiations about the foundation of SAS were held at Skeppsredarens Hus in Oslo on July 31. Those taking partwere Per Kampmann from DNL, Thomas S. Falck from DDL and MarcusWallenberg from ABA. The Norwegians had the technology and the pilots, the Danes the international business network and the Swedes the capital. The talks went on late into the night, and it was not until 3am the next day that they were done and SAS was founded. The three hungrymen walked toward the Grand Hotel, realizing on the way that it would be diffi cult to find something to eat at that time of night. The hotel’s night porter eventually sacrifi ced his own sandwiches, of Norwegian brown cheese, which they all gratefully shared in the hotel reception. The SAS vision was clear from the very start: Scandinavia would be highlighted Xxxxxxxxx on the world map. At the time, there were 16million people living in the Scandinavian countries. Now their connections with the rest of the world would be ensured. The Scandinavian joint venture suited its times well, called appropriately by the American press “the United Nations of the air.” The first SAS poster from1946.

Good to know Airport insider To get into town, follow the “train to city” signs, and ride the CTA to Chicago for $2.25 or take a cab for $35–$40 for a 30–45 minute ride. The food court in Concourse “C” has the best food and amenities for your dollar. If flights are delayed, walk underground to the adjoining O’Hare Hilton. The Andiamo café and fitness center are two places where you can relax there. Get around The “El” trains and subways are a breeze – routes are color-coded. Fares begin at $2, and you can savemoney with day passes and multiple trip options. Free seasonal city trolleys service some of the most popular museums, shopping destinations and at tractions. The best bargain is the $5 weekend pass for the commuter Metra train lines. Get connected There is freeWi-Fi at the Chicago Cultural Center, Daley Plaza and MillenniumPark, aswell as public libraries (the Harold Washington Library is in the loop area). Many popular coffeehouses, such as Starbucks and Panera Bread, offer free internet access, but most hotels charge a fee. SAS flies toChicago daily from Copenhagen and five times a week from Stockholm. City of change Steeped in rich history and culture yet in a constant state of renewal, Chicago isn’t afraid tomix things up. Chicago, once known for its stockyards and its mob connections, has worked hard over the past decade to upscale its world image. Now it celebrates its cultural and ethnic diversity. Built by immigrants, Chicago has become an international city in the heart of America. Just walk down Michigan Avenue, the favorite street, and you’ll see it and hear it firsthand. Chicago, however, is a city of neighborhoods that must be explored on foot to be truly appreciated. There is Greektown, Ukrainian Village and Chinatown, to name just a few. The inhabitants love their music (blues, soul, jazz and gospel), their magnificent skyline, and their equally magnificent shoreline. Knowing the fleeting nature of pleasant weather, they pursue al fresco dining and outdoor activities with a vengeance during the warmer months. Winter months or rain find them enjoying their favorite museum, taking in a play, sampling a new restaurant or shopping. Bargains abound for those with strong currencies compared to the dollar. Chicago has great architecture, new and old, incomparable shopping, fourstar dining, a world-class symphony, unparalleled museums, and miles of parks and beaches. And, of course, it has its sports teams: the Bears (football), the Cubs (baseball) and the White Sox (also baseball). Chicago pulses with energy and vibrancy. It is a city not tied to its past but to its future. Every week, a new boutique, celebrity haunt or restaurant opens. Neighborhoods are constantly evolving, and buildings keep going up. 006 | Scanorama | September 2009 | SAS – Our World Destination: Chicago There are miles of parks and beaches in Chicago.

Send it to us at questions@sas.se 1. I’m traveling from the United States and then on within Europe, and I have two separate bookings. How much baggage can I take with me? When traveling to and from the United States, you can take two pieces of luggage. Each bag can weigh 32kg or 23kg depending on the type of ticket you purchased. When traveling within Europe and to the rest of the world, you can take 20kg or 30kg of baggage depending on the ticket. We recommend that you read the terms and specifications that apply for the type of ticket you bought. 2. How can I ensure that my EuroBonus points are registered? The best thing you can do is to make certain that your EuroBonus number is registered when you book your ticket. This can be done through SAS or the travel agency where you bought your ticket. You can also register your points when checking in, either at a self-service kiosk or at the check-in counter. 3. Why isn’t online check-in available for all destinations? It is available for most current SAS destinations, but there are a few destinations (Germany, for example) where we cannot offer this service. For more information, visit www.flysas.com. 4. Which rules apply for liquids in cabin baggage? On November 6, 2006, new safety regulations were introduced that limit the amount of liquids passengers are allowed to take in their carry-on baggage. To find the latest information about the regulations, visit the website for the local aviation authority Mark your baggage with your name and address, and preferably an identifying feature that makes it easier to find on the baggage carousel. Make sure you are at the gate at least 20 minutes before departure. Bear inmind that there may be delays at the security checkpoint. Have your ticket and identification to hand so boarding can go smoothly. 5. Why are there different places for declaring your baggage? The rules for declaring baggage vary between countries and are set by the different national customs authorities. If you are unsure about where you should declare your baggage, ask a staff member at the airport or onboard. 6. I pre-booked a certain seat. Why was it changed? We always try to meet our customers’ wishes regarding particular seats, but sometimeswe have to rearrange seats, depending on factors such as a change in aircraft model, passengers with special needs, and security issues. 7.What should I do if I have special dietary requirements? On our intercontinental flights, we can always provide special dishes, including kosher, low-calorie or vegetarian options. When you travel on one of our other routes, you can order a special menu if you are traveling in Economy Extra on a flight lasting longer than one hour and 45 minutes, and in Business on a flight longer than one hour and 10 minutes. All you need to do is place your order at least 24 hours before the flight’s departure. 8.How many ways are there to check in? There are several different ways for SAS passengers to check in. Twenty-two hours before your flight departs, you can check in and select your seat on our website. You can also check in via text message (SMS) or on our mobile portal, which you access on your mobile phone. At the airport, you can either use our self-service kiosks or go to the check-in counter.

After spending asmany hours in the air as the pilots, he has a broad perspective on business travel. You were there at the start of EuroBonus? Yes, in fact even earlier. I got an RVC (Royal Viking Card) in 1979. I exchanged that for a EuroBonus Gold card in 1992. You are retired now. When did you fly themost? The entire time, from 1975 to 2008. I have been a banker all my life, and lived in New York for five years, in Asia for seven, and have had three stints living in London. So there has been a lot of time in the air. Sometime around 2000, I worked out I had close to 400 flying hours during one year. That is about as many hours as pilots had at that time. What are the biggest differences between being a frequent flyer in 1975 and in 2008? A lot has happened. In the 1970s, you stood in a line and waited for your handwritten boarding cards and baggage tags. The interiors of the planes have changed, and the noise level is much low er. The service in today’s Business class is very good. I often praise the cabin crew when I leave the plane. I think they need to hear what a good job they are doing. What do you miss about flying back in those days? Of course, it was a bit more glamorous to fly before. But I always get good service onboard. On my latest trip to London, the cabin crew recognized me, and that makes it a bit more personal. How do you usually book and check in? For simpler flights, I book on the SAS website, but for more complicated journeys with different airlines, I usually use a travel agency. When traveling for business, I check in as late as possible in order to be flexible with my departures. How do you keep yourself occupied onboard? I eat a little food, drink a glass of wine and then fall asleep. I have never had problems sleeping onboard. When I was on business, I always avoided working onboard. I have accidentally seen far too many confidential documents belonging tomy fellow passengers, so my own papers stay inmy briefcase. What about jet lag? Has it been as much of a pain all these years? Yes, you never get rid of it, regardless of whether you are flying east or west. Taking half a sleeping pill on the first night at your new destination is a good tip. These days, it can take four days to catch up. I used to be faster. Do you always take off your shoes during the flight? I take them off for intercontinental flights, but never on flights within Europe. They have to be on during takeoff and landing for safety reasons. Which airport has the best baggagehandling? It has to be Narita in Tokyo. You barely make it to the carousel before the bags start rolling out. They are very good in Singapore, too. Which SAS product do you particularly appreciate? I think the EuroBonus program was very good when it started and is very good today. It is well run and has evolved the whole time. We need SAS. The co
