SAS Gold gives you perks as lounge access, fast track and priority boarding even in economy. The last one is maybe what I love most. To get on board early increase your opportunity to put your hand luggage where it should be, in the luggage compartment. But if it’s peak time or a lot of families in the security I love the fast track as well. The lounge… depends on airport to be tru. But without any doubt, SAS Gold have saved me a lot of time and effort. And now it can becomes yours for just 2600€! On top of that you can visit two world cities on the same time. Sydney in Australia and Delhi in India.
The deal is easy! Air India have a great deal on Paris – Sydney T/R in business class for 2600€. If you want you can make a stop over in Delhi at the same time for the same price. This will give you 42,256 Points on SAS EuroBonus and with either position flights or any other flight your SAS Gold is home at 45 000 points.
Two small bumps on your way to SAS Gold.
Of course there is some bumps. If you don’t make a stop over the 6 hours transfer on your way out may be ok. But the 18 hour home is bad. Here you also needs to get a E-visa to India if you leave the airport. Something I recommend you to. Even the most exciting airport can get boring.
The other big bump on your way to SAS Gold is that Air India is still recovering and updating them self after the Tata group take over. So for the moment it’s theie Boeing 787 Dreamliner that flies the routs. So you will need to fly in a 2-2-2 configuration. This is totally okej if you fly with a partner or friend. But if you fly solo and get a stranger climbing over you when you sleep it’s maybe less nice.
This being said,
The offer Air India have on the Paris – Sydney route is a good deal. I have just convinced my husband that we will book it. You will end on a cost of 0,06 € per point. Its not a wow wow wow rate, but it’s decent. And with the opportunity to see two mega cities and geting SAS Gold I thinks its a great deal.
