Delta Air Lines has recently announced an exciting new codeshare partnership with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), enhancing travel options to Northern Europe. This strategic alliance, effective from September 25, offers seamless booking for travelers looking to explore over 50 destinations across Europe. The collaboration marks a significant step in Delta’s mission to strengthen connections worldwide.
Benefits for Frequent Flyers
With the new partnership, frequent fliers of both airlines stand to gain immensely. Travelers can earn and redeem Delta SkyMiles and SAS EuroBonus miles, irrespective of which airline they choose to book. This cooperation not only widens the opportunities for U.S.-based fliers to redeem their SkyMiles for SAS tickets but also promises to improve their overall flight experience. Delta’s Senior Vice President of Alliances emphasized this partnership’s role in enhancing customer journeys to Scandinavia.
Expanded Flight Options
In recent months, SAS has ramped up its nonstop service from various U.S. cities, including major hubs like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York, directly to its Scandinavian hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm. This extensive network enables travelers to easily connect to numerous smaller destinations throughout Northern Europe. The merger of Delta and SAS, particularly after SAS’s recent integration into the SkyTeam alliance, showcases a robust commitment to providing enhanced service to customers traveling to the region.
