Bonus tickets to BKK in January
Hi all,
I have been a voyeur on this forum until now - but I jump out in the open with a question I hope any of you can help answer:
I'm trying to find SAS bonus tickets to BKK from CPH in January 2014 and back i mid February - but it seems all are gone or not available. Do any of you know if it is the case that these bonus tickets are already sold out - or will SAS release more bonus tickets for BKK later this year?

You will have big problems finding that.... And do we really know that SAS is going to start flying CPH-BKK again? I'm not so sure.
Why not fly the brand new TG B777 in stead? Or you could connect with TG in FRA or CDG and fly the A380.
If you look for economy tickets I do understand why you look at SAS. But if you look for business, the options above is better, even if you must pay the taxes. At least I feel that.

I did not say anything about TG stop flying CPH-BKK....? Did I?
Why such a strong reaction? I just give some options that I use myself.

I know that 
But last winter they cancelled so many long haul flights because of tech problems. They really have too few planes.
Just a feeling I have, probably I'm wrong. I really hope they will continue this route.

No inside information.... I just think about the lack of long haul aircrafts they have. And also SAS did not exactly confirm in a strong way that they WOULD START UP again next winter.

They have another Airbus 340 entering service any day now. So that means that they increase their L/H fleet from 11 birds to 12 birds. That should give SAS some more slack in there schedule. A thirteenth one is in the pipeline

that's ok.
I did not know about any new planes. Then I guess it's more likely that they can operate this flight without too much problems.
You know where the new metal come from?
And what layout they will have?

It is an ex LAN Chile Aircraft. It is registered LN-RKP. It will have SK Livery, but LAN Chile interior. Meaning no Y+, but fully flat beds in C. AVOD and power-outels in M. It is not scheduled for any particular route, and is only gone be used as a backup plane. I believe there is a thread here somewhere, but I am to lazy to look...

Aside from SAS having increased their collaboration with Thai which has direct flights from ARN/CPH/OSL, the former BKK plane was repurposed on SFO which is paying off.
Any search on for example ARN-BBK in the next 6 months is a resold seat on the TG flight.

Hi all,
I just want to give an update on this issue - and thanks for all the replys!
Basically I just wanted to find the cheapest tickets to BKK combining my bonus points with paid tickets. I found out that SAS has updated their booking system with the "book regular tickets and partly pay with points"-section. When I search for bonus tickets to BKK there are no one - but through combining points with money I can book a roundtrip to BKK for 80.000 points. I know that it is a regular restricted ticket and not a bonus ticket.
Futhermore I can see it is a SAS flight - not Thai - to BKK in January 2014. More specifically A340-300.
