Delta Air Lines and Scandinavian Airlines Form New Partnership for Northern Europe Flights
Delta Air Lines and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) are teaming up to offer more flights to Northern Europe. This partnership is exciting news for travelers. It allows passengers to easily book travel with both airlines on the same ticket, covering more than 50 destinations in Europe.
Understanding the Codeshare Agreement
The codeshare agreement officially starts on September 25. This means that soon, you’ll be able to find and book SAS flights directly on Delta’s website. This partnership is a great way for Delta to strengthen its presence in Northern Europe.
Benefits of the Codeshare Agreement
Travelers can book flights on both Delta and SAS using the same itinerary.
Frequent flyers will earn and redeem miles with both Delta SkyMiles and SAS EuroBonus miles.
U.S.-based travelers can use their SkyMiles to book tickets on SAS, making travel to Europe easier.
Expanded Flight Options for Travelers
SAS has recently increased its nonstop flights from several major U.S. cities. This includes cities like Atlanta, Boston, and New York. These flights connect to SAS’s main hubs in cities like Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm. From there, travelers can easily reach smaller destinations throughout Northern Europe.
The Impact of SAS Joining SkyTeam
Earlier this month, SAS officially joined the SkyTeam alliance after leaving the Star Alliance. This change, supported by a major investment from Air France-KLM, enhances the partnership and expands travel options for passengers.
What This Means for Frequent Flyers
Frequent flyers can look forward to more options and better rewards. The new partnership allows passengers to enjoy perks and benefits from both airlines, leading to a better overall travel experience.
Delta’s Growing Network of Partnerships
Delta has been busy expanding its partnerships with various international airlines. In the past year, they have formed alliances with El Al, Kenya Airways, and Riyadh Air. This strategy aims to make travel easier and more convenient for passengers around the world.
Future of Delta and SAS Partnership
As Delta and SAS continue to grow their partnership, travelers can expect even more benefits. This includes possibly more destinations, better flight schedules, and enhanced services. It’s an exciting time for those looking to travel to Northern Europe.
“This partnership is a big step for us. We want to make travel to Scandinavia easier and more enjoyable for everyone,” said Delta’s senior vice president of alliances.
Looking Ahead: What Travelers Should Know
