For Scandinavia that's partly July, so assume August earliest (but summer month in Sweden) but given that's peak in Europe, I then conlclude the move will happen in September with slippage into end Oct with the change to winter season.
Interesting. Was just pricing up a trip to Johannesburg in week 30 and comparing various *A options (LX via ZRH remains my favourite). Our corporate travel agency cannot find any SK/*A connectivity beyond early June, so right now I'm starting the trip in ARN on LX ticket stock and hoping to backfill with a connection from UME. Whether I will be able to credit those *A miles to EuroBonus is another question.
