The TimeKiller App

For the last two years in a row, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) has won the award for being Europe’s most punctual airline.

SAS “Up for Grabs”

To promote a million seat fare sale, Scandinavian Airlines via Crispin Porter Boglusky Stockholm ran a competition on Facebook where SAS fans could grab a free trip.
