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.

On a recent journey back from Japan, I was excited to fly with All Nippon Airways (ANA) for the first time. Although I didn’t manage to try The Room, I was looking forward to experiencing ANA’s hospitality and particularly comparing it to my recent flight with JAL in the A350-1000. When I arrived at the gate, I found that my 787-9 had a special Star Wars livery, which made the trip extra special. Here’s a recap of my flight.

A few weeks ago, Turkish Airlines officially announced a new direct route connecting Istanbul to Santiago, Chile. The first flight will be on December 18th, 2024, and the tickets are now on sale! This marks a significant addition to Turkish Airlines’ expanding network, becoming the airline’s ninth destination in Latin America, along with Buenos Aires (Argentina), São Paulo (Brasil), Bogota (Colombia), La Habana (Cuba), Ciudad de México y Cancún (Mexico), Panama City (Panama), and Caracas (Venezuela).

With SAS officially part of the SkyTeam alliance since September 1, 2024, a new world of opportunities has opened up for EuroBonus members. You can now earn valuable EuroBonus points when flying with SkyTeam’s extensive network of airlines, including popular carriers like Delta, KLM, and Air France. However, the number of points you’ll bank depends on several factors: the airline you fly, your travel class, your specific booking class (the letter on your ticket), and the distance of your flight.

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.

On a recent trip out of Tokyo Haneda (HND) airport, I had a chance to visit the Delta Sky Club for the first time. Their lounge in Tokyo is actually the only international location offered by Delta, and it might be one of the best Delta Sky Club lounges I’ve visited.

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.
