HerrO — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:53:29 +0000

here is a much activity from SAS these weeks. No I have received another targeted mail with a invitation to participate in a Hotel challenge on how many nights I can stay at a Radisson Blu hotel in Scandinavia. The setup is the same as for flights and points are:

3 nights = 6000 points
5 nights = 12000 points
7 nights = 24000 points

It starts from October 15th to December 20th, so over 2 months.

Revisited – a 20 min movie about Frequent Flyer and why we do it….

In 2009 Gabriel Leigh made a 20 min movie about frequent flyers and this explains very shortly why people like me are doing what they are. It is a mixture of a hobby and searching to try out premium travels to remote destinations – even if it is only for a week

Look at it and see if it catches you – I am for sure in it for life

SAS – New Bonus Challenge

HerrO — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 12:31:43 +0000

SAS have today launched a new (targetted) Bonus Challenge. This time it is “how many roundtrip can you do from SEP16 to OCT31?”.

The different option I got was:
3 R/T = 2000 Extra Points
4 R/T = 5600 Extra Points
5 R/T = 11400 Extra Points
6 R/T = 20000 Extra Points
7 R/T = 32100 Extra Points

I will go for 6 R/T – a bit optimistic but hey it is also a challenge and I might do a segment run or use this as the perfect excuse to take my 6 month son on his first flight with us. A perfect family weekend trip

SAS – New membership level between PANDION and GOLD

HerrO — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:38:50 +0000

From the latest press release and financial report Eivind Roald tells that a new refurbished EuroBonus program will kick off.

Det blir en full relansering av Eurobonus med et nytt nivå over gullkortet og mange nye fordeler, sier Eivind Roald.

(Sorry it is in Norwegian but in short it says that a new level between PANDION and GOLD will come with lots of new advantages).

We can only guess what this includes but level may be close to the 100.000 points per year and this may give access to the LH Senator Lounges which rumors are stating will happen soon.

A loooong delay at CPH today due to strike amongst the security people

HerrO — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:20:11 +0000

The longest waiting time I have ever seen in CPH. All was closed due to a strike and pictures of people standing for over 100 meters in line.

The “waiting time” clock on the web site tells it all
