Destination unknown
Quite a fun campaign
Sign up for a lottery for 30,000 point return journey to an undefined destination.
I might actually sign up.

Just got the same now. I wonder if that is their way of running down their liabilities while getting to tell a plane full of EB members that they are doomed to eternal damnation in ScrapTeam from next month?

Am I missing something? This must surely just be for "fun".
Intra-EU Y is 30k, and if it is EB only, then bound to be s/h aircraft. Maybe I am cynical but this is nothing but a marketing stunt - I am sure service onboard will be more Plus-like but the prospect of this is fairly horrifying (to me). I assume it will also be to a destination that has significant available hotel capacity. But imagine some length to flights, maybe PMI as it'll be a bit of winter sun?
I assume someone (as I guess it'll many be flight geeks) will start checking destinations where SK has filed an additional flight.
And whilst initially I thought this was a liability exercise it would hardly make a dent on the books...

If SK would invest as much in their fundamental problems as in the ........ their marketing department comes up they might have a future.
This seems really inappropriate for a company still coming out of Chapter 11.

No one travels in Plus for the seat or the food . Peak EBD experience on intra-Europe flights is SAS Go/economy with free drinks and an empty seat next to you...I can buy my own pizza.
A plane filled to the brim with people all going to the same hotel doesn't sound fun at all 😞
But I think it is cool that they try new marketing approaches. For those lookong forward to it, I hope you get a seat and have a wonderful time. 🙌😁🙏

Does 30,000 points include connecting flights to get to and from CPH? Because if, not this is basically a DK-exclusive promotion. I'm not sure I can get to CPH before 09:30 from my home airport. Might have been more engaging for EB members to offer 3 flights from ARN, OSL and CPH.
No mention of passports, visas or the availability of Business Class, so it must be a short-haul destination somewhere within the EU. Probably BCN, PMI or somewhere predictable and sunny.

Sorry to quote a big image, but I noticed that CPH-Flyer 's app says the flight departs "Sun, 05 May after 00:00" ... perhaps since then it has been fixed to read "Fri, 5 Apr around 09:00"
