SAS and Virgin Atlantic are excited to introduce a new codeshare partnership, enhancing important business and leisure travel links between Scandinavia and global destinations.

Starting October 7th, the collaboration will enable SAS passengers to access Virgin Atlantic’s broader network via Heathrow, with more destinations becoming available as approvals are completed. Similarly, Virgin Atlantic travelers from the US and Canada can now enjoy seamless connections through London Heathrow and Manchester onto SAS flights to key Scandinavian cities, including Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stavanger, and Bergen.

After officially joining SkyTeam on September 1st, SAS now offers EuroBonus members immediate access to earn and redeem points when flying with Virgin Atlantic. Additionally, Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club members will enjoy similar rewards on SAS-operated flights.

SAS EuroBonus Gold and Diamond members, along with Virgin Atlantic Gold Flying Club members, can benefit from SkyPriority services at London Heathrow, which include expedited check-in, baggage handling, and priority boarding. Virgin Atlantic Gold and Silver members can also enjoy SkyPriority perks and access to SAS lounges at Stockholm Arlanda, Copenhagen, and Oslo airports.

Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, commented,

“We are very pleased to launch this new codeshare partnership with Virgin Atlantic, expanding SAS’s global reach and offering our customers even more travel options to new and exciting destinations such as Barbados, Jamaica, and Antigua, with additional destinations to be introduced later. This collaboration provides EuroBonus members with expanded opportunities to earn and redeem points across Virgin Atlantic’s extensive network, strengthening the value of our loyalty program. We look forward to building a long-lasting and successful partnership with our SkyTeam partner, benefitting travellers on both sides.”

Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Atlantic, commented, 

“We’re delighted to launch a codeshare with our SkyTeam partners at SAS, enhancing our connectivity and offering greater customer benefits to our frequent flyers, who will be able to achieve rewards faster.  As a fellow APEX five-star airline, we look forward to strengthening our partnership with SAS as we continue to broaden our global network.”
