![]() ![]() Sure, you get lounge access - but the seating on those intra-European flights is tight, there's little service and all I really care about is getting the baggage back. They're often cheaper than the Star Alliance carriers and once you've flown Lufthansa, SAS, Austrian, BMI and the rest - they're all the same. Now, I generally fly low cost European carriers once I get there. It all worked out but it was more of a pain than anything. I paid it and they sent the tickets in the mail. I booked the multi-city itinerary and they called back about two days later with the pricing on it. And even then, they couldn't price it on the phone. This I was able to do over the phone - but it took getting passed around to a couple of reservation agents to find one who knew what she was doing. How strange! If I hadn't stopped by the previous day, I would have had to schlep out to OSL and do it there at the airport. The next day, I went back to the station and noticed that SAS was dismantling their downtown ticket office - the one I had just bought the tickets at the day before. I spend $650+ and walked out with my flight coupons/boarding passes. I found the place and a patient and helpful agent worked it all out. I told them what I wanted to do and they told me I had to go inside the Central Station and book the tickets at the official SAS ticket center. I was in Oslo and went to travel agent near the train station - with a big SAS sign over the door. ![]() OK, I thought that was a bit strange but the reservations agent - on the phone - was firm about not being able to book the Air Pass other than in person. that I would to book those flights when I got to Europe. I flew SAS from EWR>CPH and wanted to do some flights on Star Alliance in Northern Europe. It all comes down to the person on the other side of the counter/phone. Does anybody have a link to the complete rundown ?I've bought two and both times found the experience frustrating. I am hesitant to buy such pass before knowing all the fine print.
