I've put in a claim by Email and sent the boarding passes so we'll see what happens. There is obviously something wrong with their systems. If the mileage credit is lost between SK and A3, SK might well think the miles were already awarded.

That's very sad! One can hope this means there won't be any other changes for the foreseeable future though.

Only go light. Honestly, this could be so much worse.

I agree with all of you.
I really hope that this means we'll be "safe" for some time.
Only eliminating the lowest two booking classes in SAS Go Light (thanks East_and_West, that was a Typo on my side) is still OK, I was afraid it'd go way further than that.

Two family members of mine will be flying long haul next month and I'm hoping that there won't be any more changes till then (the miles will go into the together account).

Are you all certain this is new? The table, in both Greek and English, states that this is valid since 09/06/2013!

Yes, that's definitely new.
It seems to me that the dates only indicate changes to the earning rates of the booking classes.
Footnotes are added independently.
Earlier this year the sentence about the booking class on the ticket possibly not being the same that's credited was added.

At least with SAS you can see the booking class at the time of booking so if you need to you can avoid the Go Lite classes. I've just done some sectors on TAP and until they credited the booking class was a complete mystery.

Sad but expected nonetheless. When the earnings on these fares changed to 100 miles (seriously SAS?) on short-haul and 200-240 miles (flat) on long-haul on SK's own Eurobonus, it was a matter of time to change this on other FFPs too...

The two lowest booking classes on SAS Go Light. On SAS Go they seem to be still at 100%. For now at least...

Lets be real here, deep discounted tickets earning 100% is still the sweet spot.

Looking at ams-cph-sfo-cph-sfo right now. Go light books in L, thus still earning 100%. 12.000 milles for €450 is still a sweet spot.

And this is coming from me, a student that struggles to pay the bills, flies all leisure and got his gold card for flying ams-ath-bru twice and a sas flight to New York...

Avoiding GoLight altogether yes, but avoiding specific classes within GoLight may not be so easy.

"The booking class indicated on the ticket may not match the class used to count the miles."

Theoretically they can credit any fare as T or O, irrelevant of the actual fare you booked.

Theoretically... yes.

But have your sas milles ever credited differently? Now tap on the other hand...

Meant to write that but dropped the Light by mistake.
Thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it!
