Intra-European flights, with a SK designator, booked in connection with the North Atlantic segment, are eligible for commission.

 

 Pre-paid Ticket Advices (PTA’s), MCO’s, SAS Air Passes, Agent discount tickets, and Group & Infant fares are not eligible for commission. Commission may not be combined with any other offers, corporate discount, or contract exhibits (i.e. Platinum 2 for 1).
