All members of SAS Scandinavian Airlines' frequent flyer program EuroBonus can as of today redeem their points for upgrades on Air China and Shanghai Airlines.
The two airlines have with immediate effect joined the Star Alliance Upgrade Awards program. It also entitles Air China's PhoenixMiles members and Shanghai Airlines' Crane Club members to upgrade on SAS flights.
SAS operates daily flights between Copenhagen and Beijing, and code-shares with Air China to four Chinese destinations (Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai). United Airlines will as of today also resume offering Star Alliance Upgrade Awards to their Mileage Plus members, thereby entitling SAS passengers
to upgrade on United flights.
With a Star Alliance Upgrade Award, a confirmed and ticketed booking can be upgraded prior to travel for a higher class of travel, using EuroBonus points.
The upgrade is processed electronically, eliminating the need to issue paper certificates. Upgrades are permitted for one class of travel, either from Economy Class (Economy Extra on SAS) to Business Class or from Business Class to First Class. Additionally, on Air China, Shanghai Airlines and United flights
offering First and Economy Class only, upgrades from Economy to First are possible. All upgrades are pending availability and upgrades from certain types of fares are not possible.
Star Alliance, the way the Earth connects, is the first global airline alliance to offer a product such as the Star Alliance Upgrade Award. SAS' EuroBonus members can use their points to upgrade when flying Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Shanghai Airlines, Singapore Airlines, SWISS, TAP Portugal, THAI, Turkish Airlines and United.
EuroBonus is Scandinavian Airlines' frequent flier program. Launched in 1997, it has over 2.8 million members worldwide. It was named Program of the Year by the prestigious Freddie Awards for seven consecutive years.
