Around the World in 24 Days: Becoming a SAS EuroBonus Millionaire

Buenos días everyone! As you may know, a couple of weeks ago Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) announced a new promotion to celebrate their transition from Star Alliance to SkyTeam. For flights between October 8 and December 31, they will give you bonus miles for flying SAS and its new partner airlines, as follows:

  • Fly 5 airlines, get 10,000 bonus miles
  • Fly 10 airlines, get 100,000 bonus miles
  • Fly 15 airlines, get 1,000,000 bonus miles

As soon as this promotion was announced, I started talking with friends and quickly decided I had to do it. There are a couple of important caveats: not all SkyTeam members are eligible (ITA, MEA, and the near-defunct Czech Airlines are not SAS partners), flights have to either earn SAS miles or be booked with SAS miles, and although the promo technically goes until the end of December, they won’t accept retroactive mileage claims filed after December 20th if the flight doesn’t post automatically, and you have to wait 8 days after your flight to submit a claim – so really you want to have all your flights finished by December 12 at the latest.

I needed a couple of tries to get the dates and routing sorted out as I figured out all these pieces, but here’s what I ended up with:
