SAS and Delta: Ultimate Travel Partnership! 

Buckle up, globetrotters! SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Delta Air Lines are teaming up like peanut butter and jelly, signing a codeshare agreement that’s set to launch on September 25, 2024. This partnership is not just about filling the skies with more planes; it’s like giving your travel plans a turbo boost straight to the land of meatballs and maple syrup! 

With this new alliance, you can finally conquer those travel bucket lists and explore the best of North America and Scandinavia—all without needing a PhD in route planning! So, whether you’re itching to ski in the Alps or just need an excuse to sip cocktails in Seattle, SAS and Delta are ready to make your travel dreams come true!

More Options Than a Swedish Buffet

Thanks to this new alliance, SAS passengers will gain access to over 150 North American destinations through Delta’s major hubs. That’s right—whether you want to see the Grand Canyon, grab a slice in Chicago, or finally experience the magic of Disney without the kids, SAS has your back! Meanwhile, Delta flyers can explore 50 destinations in Northern Europe, from the fjords of Norway to the meatballs of Sweden, all while pretending to be an extra in a Nordic noir film. 

Points, Points, and More Points!

And if you’re one of those savvy travellers who loves to collect frequent flyer points like they’re Pokémon, you’re in luck! The agreement includes reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, meaning you can earn and redeem points on both airlines. So go ahead, book that extra flight to Oslo—after all, those points aren’t going to collect themselves! And let’s be real, it’s a great excuse for more travel.

The Chief and the Vice President Speak!

SAS’s Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Verhagen, was practically giddy about the new connectivity options. “We’re adding a new direct route from Copenhagen to Seattle! Now you can go from ‘Hej’ to ‘Howdy’ without a layover!” Meanwhile, Delta’s Senior Vice President of Alliances, Perry Cantarutti, chimed in with excitement about the enhanced travel experiences. “Get ready for easier access to Northern Europe! It’s like opening the floodgates to a Viking invasion, but with fewer axes and more sightseeing.” 

The Bottom Line of the SAS and Delta: Ultimate Travel Partnership

So, whether you’re dreaming of Scandinavian adventures or planning a North American escapade, this codeshare agreement is here to make your travel dreams come true—without the hassle of long layovers and questionable airport snacks.

With SAS and Delta working together, the skies are literally the limit! Just remember to pack your bags and perhaps a few Swedish fish for the journey.
