Can one upgrade with miles intra-Europe?
Does SK allow shorter haul international upgrades with miles and, if so, how many? On the web site, all I can find is information about upgrading long haul with miles.

Reading about the differences between Go and Plus, it probably would be a waste anyway, but I am still curious. Thank you.

No you can not upgrade with points within Europe. But why would you?

Long layover in CDG on a split ticket. Lounge access is the only reason. (I guess the fast track security at CDG and sandwich too.). I have *G access, but two of my companions do not. If it was a modest amount of miles to upgrade them, I would consider it for the lounge at CDG.

upgrade with points won't give you extra ground services anyway - even on long haul.

So, if I'm understanding, I can't get lounge access on an upgrade that I can't get. I think that just about covers it, then. Thanks all.

If you only want the lounge, SAS has their own lounge in CDG.
http://www.flysas.com/en/uk/Travel-i...rport/Lounges/

The price to enter is only 28 euros for everyone. Maybe that is interesting for you.

Sorry, but it does not work in CDG:

"You are welcome to use our lounges at Copenhagen, Stockholm Arlanda Terminal 5, Oslo, Gothenburg, Helsinki or Brussels Airports when travelling in SAS Go."

That makes sense, actually. It looks to me from the timetable as though the schedule is set up so that flights from CDG to CPH, OSL, and ARN all tend to be grouped around the same times of day with a few exceptions. So, I would imagine the small lounge gets quite busy at times, and probably would be worse if they permitted the purchase of day passes.
