10 years anniversary in the frequent flyer world
This trip started the last days of July, and as a small coincidence the departure coincided with my 10 year anniversary in the frequent flyer world, almost to the date.
My application to join SAS Eurobonus was submitted one of the last days of July 2000 and I was officially registered in the beginning of August 2000.
Back then I didn’t fly nearly as much as I do today, but I did maybe 4-5 trips a year within Europe, and it felt worthwhile to join. Perhaps I would collect enough points to get a free ticket one day...?!
Little did I know I would be completely devoted to this a few years later...
My first ever trip as a “frequent flyer” was done 18 August 2000, a round trip Stockholm-Helsinki.
