SAS Scandinavian Airlines has just announced its last date as a member of Star Alliance: August 31. It joins SkyTeam the next day, following a significant investment by Air France-KLM. This means that if you are looking to book award travel on SAS by redeeming miles with Star Alliance partners like Aeroplan or United MileagePlus, you need to act fast. Once the carrier joins SkyTeam, your travel with SAS can earn miles on SkyTeam partners like Delta and Air France.
