General idea: keep an overview of SAS offers in this wiki.
New offers can either be inserted directly here or added in the thread.
Offers are not limited to SAS-activities but also can include partners with limited time opportunities for EuroBonus earnings or spending.
Suggested format would be to add a list item in the proper section. The offer should at least include a short description, expiration date (if applicable), travel period (if applicable) and other conditions like applicability. Possibly also a link to the offer, if applicable.

It is the second or third round of more of the same and these promotions aren't that great. You can fly cheap to those destinations year round if you want to.
There hasn't been a long haul C promotion in years, something people have complained about many times. All promotions with SK are in Go and generally intra-Europe, with the exception of the HKG offer last week which was obviously to beef up the load on the first flights.

Agree FlyingMoose. Additionally, you can fly alternative arrangements with a competitor and buy the comfort and convenience and it's still better than SAS (in some cases).
Additionally, have any of you tracked if SAS has had their fall (late November) sale to the US yet? Want to get to IAD but haven't tracked it being offline for some months.

And positively booking these cheap fares to Hong Kong and Washington also work when not starting from ARN but from e.g. Finland. Around 400€ are charged from HEL, TMP or TKU. Finnair prices from TKU to HKG are over 800€ so a very good deal from these regional airports.

Another very important item with long haul timing from ARN is Stockholm traffic. With the windows on the ARN-HKG route you dodge the worst parts and can reasonably make your way from and to the airport.
New C-cabin on the A330 give me no reason to fly LX and in addition to that there is WIFI which is a really big plus. Finally there is a very brief and convenient connection to CX for travel to SYD.
Connecting in ZRH and BKK along with the increased travel time from those destinations adds at least 4 hours of unnecessary travel in each direction.
As far as I'm concerned, the only reason not to take this flight would be:
- You fly F on LX/TG.
- The food you are served on SK, which is worse than in Somali prisons.
- You don't have any means to bring your own IFE to substitute SK's appalling offering (even on the retrofitted flights).

I don't mind arriving at 7am - what I do mind is departing at 9am, spending a whole day in the air instead of eating/shopping in Hong Kong.
I travel on my own $ so C is not an option for me, for Y SK is the airline to avoid.
Now that CX is flying DUS-HKG, there might be another OW option with AB+CX ex-CPH.

Very subjective of course. Personally I really appreciate the SK timing on the new ARN route as a 7AM arrival allows me to shower and head for my destination and work instead of loosing a day like on the LX arrival. Departure at 15:00 means I can watch a movie and have a good amount of time for a meal and then take a sleeping aid to get a full nights rest. Return allows me to work and arrive not to early in the day to be very jet lagged and exhausted.

As to Oz destinations I can't realky see why I want to detout to ARN first. SQ one stops any day.

They get somethings right and a good amount of the improvements we've seen over the past year have been positive. New cabin, new destinations and a continued focus on long haul along with lounge renovations and the occasional moment where they seem to actually listen to their customers are well done.
The horrible food, Eurobonus downgrades, half-assed attempt at improving IFE (improving screen but not the fundamental problem that there is nothing to watch) and polluting the in-flight magazine with strange leftwing propaganda need fixing.
I spend a lot of time in the air on numerous airlines and see how much better (and occasionally worse) things can be. If SK would stop trying to reinvent the wheel to much and copy successful formulas a bit more things have potential.
OT: Fingers crossed for a useful promo this week.
