Estonian Air informs about changes in earning SAS EuroBonus points

From the other hand there is still a possibility for frequent flyers to earn points on our main business routes.”
“The change is needed to reduce costs in relation to the reconstruction process and reviewing all of our activities and cost items,” added Parras.
All other EuroBonus programme conditions remain the same, including burning the points. In case of code sharing points can be earned either under Estonian Air or Star Alliance partner airlines’ flight code.
From June the amount of earned points per flight will change, the baggage allowance for Business Class passengers will increase on Scandinavian and Brussels routes.
