Star Alliance, the premier global airline network, has launched a unique initiative designed to benefit frequent flyers in Scandinavia. The program allows members of SAS EuroBonus, Scandinavia’s leading frequent flyer program, to match their status with corresponding levels in the programs of other participating Star Alliance airlines.
This initiative offers significant advantages for travelers in Northern Europe seeking seamless travel and unparalleled loyalty perks. Star Alliance boasts a robust network, with its member airlines operating over 3,650 monthly flights to Scandinavia from 26 global hubs, connecting passengers to more than 1,070 destinations worldwide – a reach unmatched by any other airline alliance.
The participating airlines in this status match/challenge include major carriers such as Air Canada, Air China, Air India, Ethiopian Airlines, various airlines within the Lufthansa Group, South African Airways, TAP Air Portugal, THAI, Turkish Airlines, and United. The campaign allows for the alignment of frequent flyer statuses across the gold and silver tiers, where applicable.
“Global travelers today seek unmatched network, access to more lounges, and benefits at more airports. With its 25 world-class member airlines, only Star Alliance is best positioned to deliver these advantages to frequent flyers in the Nordic countries,” said Renato Ramos, Vice President Strategy, Star Alliance.
