Correct, same good old route that I've done a zillion times by now, or so it feels...
The only thing is that I only need a one-way ticket this time for various reasons which made it slightly more complicated.
Tried the SAS webpage and the cheapest one-way ticket the SAS booking engine could find was an unrestricted C-class ticket for about 500 quid which is absolutely insane for two hours in the air!!
I checked Snowflake and found some pretty good deals, I guess I can accept to get only 25% points for once, there is only one flight per day though offering Snowflake tickets.
The other idea was to fly BMI to e.g. AMS or BRU and then buy a snowflake ticket from there (hence the interlining question) which appeared to be a good deal as well and it offered a lot more options.
Then there is always the opportunity to buy a return ticket and not using the return leg or buying a ticket with open-return for future use.
Haven't made up my mind yet.
Just wanted to hear in the meantime if there were any significant differences between buying a pure SAS economy ticket (or a BMI codeshare ticket as I often do) and a Snowflake ticket and also if I'm eligible to all gold benefits with a Snowflake ticket.
