I played around a bit with the youth...er, SAS Young...tickets and don't really see a difference on long hauls. Availability is still limited and the discounts look to be around the same. Definitely a big step down from how it was back in the day, but then again the pricing was unsustainable...although great if you had youths. If your kids are reliant on tickets around school holidays, I don't think the program will offer much for long hauls (I haven't looked within Europe as my daughter is in Japan).
Looks like a rebranding more than an overhaul at first glance.
