another "great" advice it's quite not possible when you want/have to fly with SAS with connecting in CPH/ARN/anywhere else. But the things and result is you can get (but you have to manage that) what you deserve, that's good.

Please tell me where you can see the '257 ticket' option? Austrian does not sell the itinerary on its website, and I can guarantee you that if you phone up and ask for the same flights with the shorthaul specifically with OS code, you'll end up paying a lot more.

Don't be a Besserwisser: if you want Aegean when flying Austrian to VIE, you simply buy your ticket from Austrian and not SAS.

Very true, but it was also mentioned above about SAS longhaul flights. In those cases from VIE it is not possible to book OS coded flights online because those fares are only marketed by SAS.

So my point was, that although it is easy to just say 'book an Austrian ticket', this is not always possible - unless you want to pay a lot more.

I'm not trying to be a big head, I am just stating the facts!
