I have been looking a bit in to it after the status match and DUB is often mentioned with great TATL PE and J prices on SK via CPH.
Might be interesting?
Ohh and by the way TK is still great with dom. award prices in the US after the enhancement. That if you got any miles left
And if you want to see more of the country?

SK on other Sky Team airlines
As September 1st. is arriving soon, I thought it timely to create a thread to share data points on people's experiences of the transition in regards to how other ST members are "treating" SK EB elite members and their readiness for the integration.
I have a DL CPH-JFK flight just after the transition and I'll try to use my EBG number for ST elite plus benefits and earnings and I'll report back how it went.

This was probably already reported, but I was able to add my EBD number on klm.com this week. I am not experienced with KLM, but it seems to me that the system did not recognize the status, just accepted the number.

But does it stick? When I add it it is removed when I check back.

Yes, I called the Danish AF/KL Call center and the ageent could see my EBG number on an AF booking, even though mine also seemed to have disappeared, when retrieving it afterwards.
Now it is going to be interesting to see, if ST E+ benefits are automatically being added on September 1.st.

Oh interesting. I just tried with my booking via the SAS App and it is being displayed indeed and looks like the EBG number is in there also.
Thanks for the hint! Curious to see what happens post Sep 1, as I would like to select seats.

I also confirm this. A KLM.com made booking, added EBD on KLM.com. I can see the booking and the FFP number in the SK app.
(displaying the seat map does not work, like often on alien bookings)

It does not appear that you can combine carriers transatlantic. The only change I noticed is that a connecting flight CDG-ARN is now on SAS, which is a large downgrade when you are in business. So, it's just like with *A due to Atlantic Plus Plus between LH Group, UA and AC. Will that change? It's only a few days until Sep 1.

The codeshare application with Delta has been submitted and then delayed thanks to Jetblue opposition: https://aviationweek.com/air-transpo...hare-agreement
It seems they may need to carve out a couple of countries to try and fasttrack the approval for remaining markets, unclear when this will happen.
I read this as only the codeshare, not sure what status is for JV application but on the other hand SK needs to exit Ch.11 first I think and that should be imminent.

Similarly I don’t believe SK and AF-KL have applied for any long-haul intercontinental codeshares yet either.

I just noticed that my DL flight has my EB number in the booking on their site. Looking like this EBGxxxxxxxxx
This is great news for a hopefully smooth integration and ST Elite Plus recognition from day one.
