SLC is not a good place to go if you want to use *A. The only connection that is feasible from a SAS point of view is from ORD or IAD, by using SkyWests CR7:s or UAs A319s, and they, quite honestly, are very sub-standard.
The best connection is probably from IAD on one of UAs A319:s though.

No problem getting from CPH-ORD or CPH-IAD, but SLC is a typical Delta or American Airlines hub, but even with them you might end up on a commuter jet, like the CR7.

I have done the SLC trip from ARN many times, and unfortunately, CR7:s way of business class is the two first rows with a few extra inches of legroom in a cramped cabin and gate-checked carry-ons.

But if you do want to go to SLC and not the not so far away DIA/DEN, then a bonustrip there with EB points will cost you the same as any North American connection.

I would try to go to LAS or DEN instead and use rental car to get to SLC, but if not, I would use CPH-IAD-SLC, with the last segment on Uniteds A319.
