SAS announced two new codeshares with SkyTeam partners: Aerolíneas Argentinas and Garuda Indonesia. One brings Argentina and Patagonia closer. The other brings Bali and the rest of Indonesia.

June is a busy month for EuroBonus members. The most urgent deal is a 20% discount on award flights within Scandinavia, and you have to book by June 14. SAS is also selling rare points-only flights to Madeira for its 80th anniversary. On top of that, there are two new codeshares, a 2,000 SEK SAS Holidays discount, and a World Cup car rental offer worth up to 8,000 points. A few of May’s deals have now closed, and you will find them at the end.

You find the perfect award seat. Business class, the right date, bookable with the miles you already have. You fill in the passenger details, hit confirm, and the page shows an error. You search again, and the seat is gone. It was never really there.

Here’s a new solution to one of the questions we get every day: how to earn points for business expenses. Today, SAS made a bold move and announced the SAS Executive Card, its first ever SAS-issued business credit card. The waitlist is open today in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark; the card itself launches fall 2026. It’s a Mastercard World Elite product aimed at Scandinavian SMEs, and on paper it sets the highest base earning rate in EuroBonus: 25 points per 100 SEK/NOK/DKK on all eligible spend.

I always love flying with KLM; after many years, it remains one of my favorite airlines: the service, the friendliness of the staff, the soft and hard product, plus the Delft Houses. For me, it’s the complete package. I’m often told it’s hard to compete with Asian or Middle Eastern airlines when it comes to service. That’s definitely true on certain routes, but when considering European airlines and destinations that not many carriers serve (like deep South America), KLM is hard to beat. I was truly looking forward to this flight. The last time I flew KLM was on a short fifth-freedom flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago, sadly too short.

On my last visit to Sweden I found an interesting combination with my EuroBonus points: inbound with Aerolíneas Argentinas + SAS (via Madrid) in Economy Class, and the return with KLM in Business Class via Amsterdam. Ever since I completed my SAS EuroBonus Millionaire challenge and got my 1 million points, it has been increasingly hard to find good awards. Since I usually travel from South America to Europe or the United States, there are not very many airlines one can pick other than AF/KL, AR, and Delta. In addition, I usually travel with companions, which makes it harder when finding multiple seats.
