If it offers options for SAS EB points on EY non-code share flights beyond Abu Dhabi it might be interesting, at least for me. I never have to go to the middle east so I can't see myself using it, but I go to Australia from CPH a lot and the only *A options are SQ who dont do SAS EB points on cheaper tickets or TG who are pretty good but dont have the schedule that always works. I would really love another option to get points on the way down under.
