This may have been discussed already. Sorry in that case.

I was looking into prices on the route ARN-FRA and noted that the prices for a daytrip where rather high. So checking this in ExpertFlyer I noticed that SAS have removed one-way fares in the booking classes T, K and U.

So in effect they have O (170SEK+) and W (2440SEK+) and higher because to be able to get T, K and U as return fares you have to spend the weekend in Frankfurt. The lower booking classes remains for MUC and DUS and BER.

Is this the first sign of removing the oneway price system or is this simply the price we pay to sleep with Lufthansa?

O class are blocked on most flights where you can make a daytrip so in most cases we now have to pay SEK5000+ for a daytrip to FRA which gives us 25% EB points...

I also noted that that in the GDSes (shown via ExpertFlyer) SAS has entered the lower booking classes with an Advance Purchase rule of 2 days (this seems to be accross the European routes). But when reading the information at SAS Sales Information channel they claim that purchases made less than 2 days prior to departure needs to be ticketed instantly. Mistake from SAS or another way of getting more money out of us?

Finally, on a side note, the SAS booking engine shows wrong information about earned points on the German routes. Regardless if you select a SK operated route or LH operated route the points calculator shows that you will earn according to a LH operated flight (800 oneway in 100% classes rather than 1200 points+status bonus). I certainly hope that is a regular f***-up from SAS IT rather than an indication that Lufthansa dictates everything on these routes.
