Possible BAHT-type SAS Mileage Run
All this talk about the BAHT run kept reminding me about something that was in the dark recesses of my mind. I remember a few months ago seeing a post about an SAS "flight" from Copenhagen to Malmo. Malmo is just across the harbor from Copenhagen and the "flight" really isn't a flight at all. It's a boat ride. Apparently now that the bridge between Copenhagen and Malmo has been completed, SAS no longer has this flight. But apparently they still have both rail and helicopter "flights" on that route. My question posed to all Star Alliance and particularly United flyers is this: If this is a code-share "flight", would we get one segment of credit. Presumably the train ride is very cheap -- a few dollars. What's to stop someone from taking the 30 minute train ride back and forth 100 times. And are there other Star Alliance partners out there with ground or water connections that count toward UAL segments? If so, one could earn 1K without ever leaving the ground (or water).
