The secret to great customer experience

Don’t piss off the customer.

The secret to great customer experience

It’s been more than two years since I’ve flown, and given the current situation of airports and airlines, I had very low expectations.

What I absolutely did not expect is SAS to really disappoint me. Not only didn’t their website work, but after a total of eleven hours of waiting (few times because they hung up on me), I got nothing done.

I just needed to rebook my flight. I was willing to pay for it. I was reaching out two weeks before my scheduled flight. I was polite in my communication—because I understand they are under a lot of pressure.

Even worse, once I actually reached a human, they were unwilling to work on a solution with me. “That can’t be done.” “Could you please connect me with someone who can help, then?” Beep beep beep.

Ironically, I had no issues rebooking flights with Ryanair. They were so happy to take my money. I mean, when the notorious budget airline beats you in the customer experience department it might be a good time for some candid reflection.

So I sucked up the cost with SAS, and made a vow to never book another flight from them. Norwegian and Flyr will be my preferred choices for Norway.
