SAS released a new campaign for Sweden, Norway and Denmark, with discounted tickets for EuroBonus members: 25% discount on domestic award flights.

Overall, my experience with Cathay Pacific was good. There are some highlights and some odd downsides. The cabin is comfortable, although not in the greatest of layouts. The food is very good, and the staff is friendly and courteous, although service can sometimes feel a bit rushed. The IFE is really bad on their older 777 models, although it’s been improved on newer planes. They offer plenty of options on board for both food and drinks, all of them of great quality.

SAS launched new discounted tickets for EuroBonus members: 30% discount on award flights to/from selected destinations in the USA and Japan.

It’s real: airlines are implementing monthly subscriptions on their frequent flyer programs, where you pay per month at different packages and get a fixed number of miles per month. With the rise of subscription services in many industries, it was only a matter of time before airlines jumped on the train. Now, the key question is, are those any good? Should you join? While the concept is still in its early stages, it can be very lucrative in the long run (from our experience), although there are many things to watch out for!
