SAS EuroBonus

SAS is on fire this month, and just announced a massive route expansion from Copenhagen in its summer 2025 schedule. The move aims to establish Copenhagen as the airline’s global customer point, with 15 new routes taking flight, including a long-haul route to Seattle, a domestic route to Billund, and 13 exciting European destinations.

Right in the middle of joining SkyTeam’s celebrations, Scandinavian Airlines announced they will be reintroducing direct flights between Copenhagen and Seattle starting in May 2025. This move follows the growing travel demand to the U.S. and customer requests. The new route strengthens ties between Scandinavia and the Pacific Northwest, a region with a strong Scandinavian heritage.

September is loaded with news, right after the switch to SkyTeam. SAS has just released new discounted tickets for EuroBonus members: 30% discount on award flights to/from the USA. The offer applies to one-way and return journeys in SAS Go Bonus, SAS Plus Bonus and SAS Business Bonus, for travel during November. And as usual, children 2-11 years old get 50% of the point price, even on the already discounted price.

Now that SAS is officially part of SkyTeam, you can earn EuroBonus points when flying SkyTeam Airlines. However, the number of points you earn depend on the fare/booking class and distance flown. Plus, not all SkyTeam partners yield EuroBonus points yet. Here’s a recap of the situation.

SAS is now officially part of SkyTeam, leaving behind many years in Star Alliance. With the transition, it’s now possible to book flights on SkyTeam Airlines with EuroBonus points. Let’s have a look at the full list of partners.

Last July 31st, SAS hosted a Q&A event on Instagram covering many questions about the transition to SkyTeam, especially for their EuroBonus members.

According to the airline confirmation, it will be possible to book First Class on China Eastern, Saudia, and Garuda Indonesia from the very beginning.

On September 1st, 2024, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) officially joins the SkyTeam alliance, which means a major shift in lounge access for SAS travelers, among other things. With this transition, SAS EuroBonus Gold and Diamond members, as well as SAS Plus/Business travelers, will be able to access a variety of new lounges, including those of partners like KLM, Delta, and Air France. Despite the move, SAS has managed to retain lounge agreements with Lufthansa (a Star Alliance partner) for certain specific airports. Let’s look at the updated list, according to SAS’ website.
