I recently had the chance to make my first round-the-world trip, starting from the south of Argentina, going to Tokyo and back. As I was assembling the itinerary, I realized there was an opportunity to go via New York (JFK) and take Japan Airlines to Tokyo Haneda, operated by their new flagship, A350-1000. The flight runs daily, but some days are still operated by a 777, so even though the plan was exciting, there was still a chance that they changed the equipment last minute.
Welcome to our SAS EuroBonus monthly updates, March edition! The EuroBonus front is very hot right now, with lots of things going on. Each month, we explore and summarize the most recent developments so you don’t have to.
This year (2024) marks a giant leap for Scandinavian Airlines, after being acquired by Air France-KLM, leaving Star Alliance and joining SkyTeam. The arena for frequent travelers is completely new, with a lot to learn and a myriad of opportunities to uncover.
Easter is a time of renewal and exploration, and what better way to celebrate than by using those hard-earned miles for a springtime getaway? If you haven’t booked or planned anything yet, there’s still plenty of opportunities out there, as we see in AwardFares.
Today, we woke up to some unexpected developments in the SAS EuroBonus saga. It appears that booking flights on United Airlines using EuroBonus points is no longer an option. Their system fails to display any itineraries that include United flights. These changes could be linked to the recent slowdowns observed in their search engine and are likely associated with the new partnership with Delta Air Lines and the intention to join SkyTeam.
Flying with American Airlines? Starting February 20, 2024, the airline is implementing several changes that will impact how you pack, earn miles, and book your next trip. These changes aim to reward loyalty and incentivize booking directly with American Airlines. AAdvantage members will enjoy additional benefits, while some fees will increase for non-direct bookings.
Are you concerned about maybe flying on a Boeing 737 MAX on your next trip? The 737 MAX’s journey has been marred by tragedy, controversy, and ongoing concerns. After serious issues in 2018 and 2019, technical fixes and regulatory approvals have allowed its return to service. However, a recent flying-door episode with Alaska Airlines is again causing struggles for Boeing.
SAS launched a new campaign for EuroBonus members with a 25% points discount on SAS Go and SAS Plus trips to selected destinations in Scandinavia.
Another month, another roundup: welcome to the latest edition of our SAS EuroBonus Updates. Each month, we explore the most recent developments and offerings from SAS Scandinavian Airlines’ loyalty program, so you don’t have to.
