==Services== ===EuroBonus=== {{Main|EuroBonus}} SAS's frequent-flyer program is called EuroBonus. Members earn points on all SAS flights, Widerøe routes with no SAS competition (except Public Service Operations) as well as on Star Alliance flights. Around 50 percent of SAS' total revenues are generated by EuroBonus members. By August 2015, the EuroBonus program had in excess of four million members.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.sasgroup.net/en/sas-celebrates-four-million-eurobonus-members/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150822222639/http://www.sasgroup.net/en/sas-celebrates-four-million-eurobonus-members/ |archive-date = 22 August 2015 |title = SAS celebrates four million EuroBonus members |date= 21 August 2015}}</ref> ===Hovercraft=== Between 1984 and 1994, SAS operated a [[hovercraft]] service between [[Malmö]] in Sweden and [[Copenhagen Airport]] in Denmark. Travellers could check in for their flights in Malmö and the hovercraft were operated as connecting flights. The service was operated using a handful of [[British Hovercraft Corporation AP1-88]]s, which took an average journey time of 45 minutes to traverse the {{convert|17|mi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}} route across the [[Øresund]]; within its first year of operation, hovercraft reportedly carried roughly 100,000 passengers.<ref name = "popmech hover">{{cite journal |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=YOQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA42 |title = New hovercraft replacing airliners |journal = Popular Mechanics, 2015 |publisher = Popular Mechanics |date = March 1985 |volume = 162 |issue = 3 |page = 42 |issn = 0032-4558}}</ref> Due to the level of demand experienced, SAS examined the prospects for introducing larger hovercraft, capable of carrying up to 200 passengers, for the service.<ref name = "popmech hover"/> However, in 1994, the hovercraft were replaced by [[catamaran]]s. These vessels were in turn discontinued during 2000 due to the opening of the [[Öresund bridge]], which provided a competing rail link between Malmö and Copenhagen airport.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.classicfastferries.com/cff/pdf/cff_2004_1.pdf |title = SAS: The Hovering Years |publisher = Classic Fast Ferries |year = 2004}}</ref> ===Wi‑Fi=== During May 2018, SAS launched a new high-speed [[Wi‑Fi]] Internet access system supplied by [[Viasat (American company)|Viasat]]. The new system was announced to enable passengers to stream movies on board. Prior to this, SAS offered Internet access on board on its long haul aircraft and a small number of Boeing 737s. Wi‑Fi Internet access is free for Eurobonus Gold and Diamond members and those with Business class ticket. Otherwise, it can be purchased with EuroBonus points or for a fee.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sasgroup.net/en/sas-the-first-nordic-airline-to-launch-high-speed-wifi/ |title=SAS the first Nordic airline to launch high speed WiFi |website=SAS |access-date=3 October 2018}}</ref>
