Is United a good alternative?
I'm EBG. I fly mostly TATL US and then some intra-eu.
I'm not so impressed with SAS lately and have been searching for an alternative. With credit card spend, it seems I can become gold at United. Thus I'll still have lounge and upgrades are more common.
It also seems, that segments with SAS out of CPH will earn 100 % on most classes with United.
Thus, it seems lige a pretty descent alternative for me. Although i read much negative stuff about united, all my flights with them have met SAS-standard. (Except for crew).
Am I missing something here? Have any of you other guys thought about changing away from degraded Eurobonus. For me it's mostly the bonus trip and the upgrades that matter (lounge, of course), and they seem better with United.
