1000 people impatient to fly, without knowing the destination

The Scandinavian Airlines, based in Sweeden, recently announced a mystery flight aimed to members of the "EuroBonus" loyalty program.

The experience proposed by the Scandinavian company consists in purchasing a flight whose destination is unknown. In other words, you get on the plane, and the destination will be announced at some point during the flight. Despite the total mystery, nothing can be changed. no one can give up

The only clues currently known are:

  • place of departure: Copenhagen, Denmark
  • place of return: Copenhagen, Denmark
  • departure date: April 5, 2024
  • return date: April 8, 2024
  • flight duration: several hours

Also, 1-2 days before the event, the supposed passengers will receive some instructions regarding the clothes and other items that they will have to take in their luggage

In order to pay, those who want to have to redeem the price of 30,000 miles probably made within the loyalty program. This does not mean that your plane flies approximately 45,000km round trip, which would limit the destination to 20,000km and offer some hints if a circle is drawn with its radius and center in Copenhagen. The price of the purchased miles, however, includes accommodation, meals and, certainly, a serie of other offers.

The announcement of the airline was made on February, the 12 and in 24 hours 1000 applicants signed up for "the surprise flight". Those selected then had 24 hours to confirm the reservation and make the payment, and the rest are waiting with bated breath for someone to give up and be the happy new one added to the list of pagers.
