Nå som
SAS igjen ekspanderer kraftig på langdistanse hadde det vært fint å sammenligne Langdistanse før og nå. Det er vel enda et stykke igjen til
SAS er sammenlignbar det nettverket de fløy i storhetsdagene, med både Afrika og Sør Amerika på kartet.
Hvordan er størrelsen på
SAS flyflåte, daglige seter og ruter opp mot tidligere dager?

Besides several landing strips used by DC-6s and DC-7Cs, SAS has operated scheduled flights to Søndre Strømfjord (60s - 2002) and Thule (90s).
A number of the destinations in Africa were technical stops en route to South America, but tickets were sold to these destinations as well. During the 60s-early 80s, most intercontinental routes to Africa, South America, Middle East and in some cases Asia, went through either Düsseldorf, Zürich/Geneva and/or Athens before leaving Europe. Most services originated in Copenhagen and all flights routed through ZRH/GVA were operated in pool with Swissair, SAS' best friend at the time.
