What's the point of selling codeshare flight when you cannot find it at flysas.com?
What's the point of selling codeshare flight(SK flight number, operated by another airline) when you cannot find the codeshared flight on flysas.com?
Or is it just SAS IT thing?:rolleyes: |
Which flight are you talking about? Is there availability on your dates or is it consistent across all dates? Can you find it on other booking engines?

(not booking only below-mentioned sectors) for example: Bangkok - Hong Kong on TG Chicago ORD - Los Angeles on UA Brussels - Leeds on BD Newark EWR - Toronto YYZ on AC Beijing PEK - Shanghai SHA on CA Zurich - Geneva on LX Copenhagen - Wien on OS Stockholm ARN - Beijing PEK on CA Stockholm ARN - St Petersburg on FV These routes are not showing as optional destinations. Frankfurt - Almaty on LH Frankfurt - Addis Abeba on LH

Seems your wish has been granted.
Since this week end SAS has added its codeshares destination on their online booking engine. Not sure if all is there, but it's now possible to book tickets to pretty much everywhere... Enjoy! |

It's been quite a few years since I've had a genuine paper ticket. I wonder why they insist on issuing tickets bought from them on their own ticket stock as they clearly lack the appropriate e-ticket interlining agreements. |
That's really interesting. The last paper ticket I had was issued around mid-2008 for travel late 2008 and at that time CI staff (LH/SQ/SK) has already noted to me it is quite rare to see. However last week I've seen a couple of people in OSL holding paper tickets, and not even those with magnet strip (ATB or ATB2?), but old-style soft paper book with self-copying pages. Who and why still issuing them, any idea?

I wouldn't have thought anyone still used them in 2010. Were these people really travelling SK? |

Here is the question. Which is the most beneficial for SAS? Selling as original flight number or SK coded number? ie. ARN-(SK)-EWR-(AC)-YYZ ARN-(SK)-EWR-(SK[AC operated])-YYZ |

I had one of those in September 2008 issued by HY for travel between FRU and TAS. Another one was issued the same month for travel TAS-RIX.

In my case it was an IB flight (just number, actually operated by FB!) and apparently this link isn't there. I had the same problem when booking an AY flight from wideroe.no back in 2007, but nowadays they are not even showing any AY flights... Another reason to have paper tickets is having more than 16 flight "coupons" or segments (not necessarily flights as open-jaw ground segments count towards the total as well) under one ticket - e-tickets have a hard limit of 16 coupons. Which is why the RTW tickets nowadays have the same upper limit. |
SAS website is weird in some cases.
If you try to book a trip from sas.se (Sweden) to Macedonia, Mexico and probably many more countries these countries don't show up in the list. Though if you go to sas.dk and book a trip from Sweden to these countries it's possible, though you get the price in DKK then. I'll probably stick around to search engines that get those trips anyway. Atleast I get the price in SEK then. |

Why is quite easy to answer: In WF's case they issue tickets on their own 701 ticket stock, and they don't have the proper e-ticket connectivity or interlining with all the carriers. They can do it just fine on any SK group airline, LH and a number of others.

You must explicitly click "show more departures" to see the code shares. Not really user friendy. |

OK, but surely you are issued with tickets printed on ATB/ATB2 blanks? Who still have an equipment to print old-style soft paper tickets?
As for the old-style tickets, I'd say travel agents in the less developed nations. |
