Find Award Flights with SAS EuroBonus

What is SAS EuroBonus?

SAS EuroBonus, the frequent flyer program of Scandinavian Airlines, was introduced in 1992 to reward travelers for their loyalty to SAS and its partners, including Star Alliance members. Members earn points for flights, hotel stays, car rentals, and more, which can be redeemed for a plethora of rewards ranging from free flights and upgrades to goods and services. The program offers tiered membership levels -Member, Silver, Gold, and Diamond- each providing a suite of benefits designed to enhance the travel experience, such as priority services and lounge access.

How many EuroBonus Points for a flight?

SAS has a zone-based, fixed price award chart. The number of EuroBonus points required for a free flight depends basically on the route (trip length), and class of service. Generally, short-haul flights within Europe might start from as low as 8,000 points for a one-way economy class ticket, whereas long-haul flights, especially in business class, could require 60,000 points or more one-way.

Occasionally (usually monthly), SAS announces a set of discounted destinations at 20%, 25%, 30% and even 50% off the regular prices in points. This means members might get one-way short-haul flights for as little as 3,000 points.

How much are SAS EuroBonus points worth?

The estimated average value of a SAS EuroBonus point is between 1.0 and 2.0 USD cents per point, although in some cases it can exceed 3 cents. The value varies depending on the route, class of service, and whether the points are used on SAS-owned flights or on Star Alliance or SkyTeam partner airlines. The best value is found by booking long-haul Business Class flights in advance, especially during promotions or using the fixed points option with partners. The worst value is usually found when redeeming points for products, non-air services, or short flights within Scandinavia in Economy Class.
