    Hei. Når det gjelder oppgradering fra member til feks Silver: Dersom man reiser to stk, så teller dette som to kvalifiserende flygninger på en enkeltreise, og fire kvalifiserende flygninger ved en tur retur? Teller bare kortholderens flyvninger, eller begge?

  • @AwardViking
    @AwardViking2 күн бұрын

    Kvalifiserende reiser er individuelt. Så hvis du fly BGO-OSL-AMS på SAS fly(ikke andre Star Alliance selskaper) får du to kvalifiserende flyvninger. Og den du reiser sammen med får også 2 kvalifiserende flyvninger på sin profil. Dette får du uavhengig av nivå du er på.

    Ny til dette. Tusen takk for god innføring. Men har i dag Saga MC Gold og har oppgradert det for Eurobonus. Samtidig vurderer jeg også SAS AMEX PREMIUM. Dette høres ut som en killer kombo der Amex primært brukes så CT kan benyttes men ha Saga kortet i bakhånd der Amex ikke aksepteres. Høres fornuftig ut?

    Takk😊 det er en veldig god kombo, bruk Amex til du får CT og ha Saga som backup hvis Amex ikke aksepteres. Obs: noen steder fungerer ikke tæppe funksjonen for Amex, selv om de aksepterer kortet, så prøv å sett inn det fysiske kortet også ;)

    I am KLM Flying Blue Gold member for years now, but the level of service and quality of Catering is going down and down. I havn't flew the brand new Business Class in the 777, but I really liked the old 2-2-2 configuration. Your menu is the same menu KLM offers for months now! The beef and the delicacies are on their menu for a long time, I had them both several times and in my personal opinion it is just disgusting, in taste and presentation. Where you happy with the job of the flight attendants?

  • @AwardViking

    This was my first time trying their business product. If the food is the same is not optimal, should change it regularly. The presentation, I agree, aren’t the best, but the taste was really good for me. The flight attendants were amazing on this flight. They were chatty and very service minded, 10/10😄

Had some really unpleasant flights with them to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Nairobi recently and they made us really feel bad, especially on our flight to Nairobi last year and Cape Town in January. I really don't know why they are so unfriendly towards us, but they definatly must have a negative attitude towards towards Germans. 😔

    Even if money is no object, for me, nothing could justify the weight. You are loosing around 4kg in content-weight compared to other top-end Samsonite luggage at similar size. That's a very significant amount... Yes you can pay to check-in additional luggage but that's more luggage you have to lug around.

    Very good video and description! My experience as a frequent flyer to and from the US and Panama CIty and between in the US has shown me that despite the outdated seats in business class, Copa Airlines is a much better flying experience from most airlines in US and in the region. Since the boarding of the airplane, where you do not need to wait like 2 or 3 priority boarding groups that goes before you in business class (that typically happens in the US) following the excellent and kind service with good food quality, I still have not fly business in the US in a 737-800 that beats Copa neither in American or United. Can’t speak about Delta. Outside the US, in Latin America, there is no comparison as well. Avianca, LATAM or Aeromexico experience are terrible compared to Copa Airlines when you fly in business or even in economy. Copa is still one of the few airlines that offers you food in Economy (real food, not peanuts…). In case you decide to fly again to Panama city you will probably get the new 800 Max from Copa with their Dreams business class. That would be another story…

    Flew Emirates with my wife on Business and they upgraded me to First Class. I of course gave the 1st Class seat to my wife - just saying...( 🙂my wife divorced me a couple of years laer, so you did right 🙂) Business Class on 777 with Emirates is on most flight not worth the money - old seats and feel very cramped. On Airbus 380 it is okay. The prices on Emirates are now also 30-40% higher than before Covid, so as I before flew Emirates business every month, I am now either finding other Airlines or flying economy on A380.

    Some of you may have been lucky. For me...Never Again with Norse!!!! JFK via London Gatwick: -When you get to the JFK Norse Airways counter they make you fit your bag in a small container and it barely fits because of your suitcase wheels. Sorry that will cost you $140 now. If you break the wheels of the suitcase then it fits. What a scam they running. -Each Suitcase costs $140 if you check it in under the plane. -Carry On is $85 -Charging port is hidden under seat, and the power cuts off every 25 min -You can't fit a medium size laptop on your folding table, the seat is not stretch out enough, a tablet is preferred. Bad Boeing 787 design. -They won't even come up to your seat and ask you if you want something to drink without paying for it first on the seat screen. -You have to pre-pay for your seats -They finally gave us water in a cup and tasted like Chlorine, nasty taste.

    I learned that if you reserve your seats 5 months in advance, you can get this service for about $500 each way from NYC to Paris, or $1000 round trip for classic. For the premium seat on Delta Airlines, that same seat each way is $1420 for Premium Select, which is very similar to the Premium on Norse. So unless I want to pay another $840 for a round trip to France, this is a great option although I lose the miles which is not worth it to me if four people are traveling. Other comparisons: Tilt on Norse seatback is 12 inches, Delta is 6 inches. Both have 2-3-2 setup. Delta food is marginally better. Delta includes the same bags as classic on Norse. Delta gives you unlimited drinks, Norse limits them. For those tradeoffs for a family, this seems worth it.
