What's Up with SAS Phasing Out Their A340s?

So, I read that SAS is planning to retire their A340s soon. I know these birds are kinda old, but there's something classic about them. I think they've served SAS well, especially on those long-haul routes to the US and Asia. But with the A350s coming in, I guess it's time for an upgrade.

Does anyone know exactly when the last A340 flight is scheduled? And what routes are they gonna use the A350s on first? I bet they'll start with the more popular routes, but I'm curious. Also, how do you guys feel about the A340s going away? I know some people love the quad engines, even if they're not the most fuel-efficient.

Anyway, I'm kinda excited to see the A350 in SAS colors. It's a beautiful aircraft! Thoughts?

Yeah, it's a bummer to see the A340s go. Those quad jets have a charm, but totally get why they're retiring them. The A350s are way more efficient and quieter, so it makes sense for SAS to switch. Not sure about the exact last flight date, but I heard they might start with routes to the US with the A350s. Anyone know if they're keeping any A340s for backup or something? Would love to catch one last ride before they're gone.

I get the nostalgia for the A340s. Those four engines have a certain appeal, but the A350 is just better for the environment and the airline's bottom line. SAS hasn't announced an exact date for the last A340 flight, but it's happening soon. The A350 will likely start on high-demand routes like New York or Beijing. Anyone know how the cabin layout compares between the two? I'm curious if the A350 will have more comfort upgrades.
