Aside from that, retroclaim is not working and I think it will be optimistic to hope that it will be functioning by Dec 20th. What I am still missing is if everything somehow goes fine and the points credit, what on earth will people be using the 1M miles for. Since the switch to Skyteam, I cannot find any longhaul C class availability (more specifically roundtrip) on SAS out of CPH...and almost nothing on the partner airlines. I think that many of us old timer SAS fliers are gravitating back to *A because Eurobonus has deteriorated so much in recent years...so I question what all these new posters really plan on gaining from all of this. 1M miles looks to be awfully hard to spend on SkyTeam in the next years...and that is if Eurobonus is still alive in 3+years.
Kudos to those attempting the challenge and I sincerly wish you the best, but please start considering how to spend the miles given the lack of award availability.
