Transfers executed on the self-service portal on Thursday just before 5pm.
  • Delta: instant transfer
  • SAS: next day around noon (Friday)
  • Finnair: two days (Saturday)
  • BA: two days (Saturday)
  • Flying Blue: two days (Saturday)
This was very valuable, thanks!

I've recently tranferred to BA, too, and I believe it took two days in both instances for me, too.
