On July 31st, 2024, SAS hosted a Q&A event on Instagram covering many questions about the transition to SkyTeam, especially for their EuroBonus members. One of the questions that arose was about the possibility of using EuroBonus points to book First Class award flights on SkyTeam airlines. Good news! According to the airline confirmation, it is possible to book First Class on China Eastern, Saudia, and Garuda Indonesia.

Here’s a recap of what we know so far.

Book Online or via Phone?

There are still many questions about how to book these awards and whether they will be available via the online booking portal or only by calling the contact center. We’ll monitor the situation closely and update this post with the latest information.

SkyTeam Airlines with First Class

SkyTeam still fields only six genuine First Class products in 2025: Air France La Première, Garuda Indonesia First Suite, China Eastern First Class, Korean Air Kosmo Suite 2.0, Saudia First Suite, and XiamenAir First Class, with Air France topping the rankings and Garuda redirecting its sole First-Class service to Jakarta–Tokyo.

Check our updated guide below for the details each cabin’s hardware, flagship 2025 routes, and the mileage programs that can book them (largely Flying Blue, SKYPASS, and AlFursan). We also flag new developments such as Air France’s next-generation A350 suites for late-2025 and Korean Air’s planned 2028 overhaul:
