Tick Tock, EuroBonus Clock! It’s that time of the year again when many Amex 2-for-1 vouchers (or companion tickets) are about to expire, and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably scrambling to find the best way to use them.

At AwardFares, we know how tricky it can be to snag those last-minute award redemptions, especially when you’re trying to make the most out of your EuroBonus points. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

In this post, we compile a few of our favorite options, including different airlines, routes, and cabins, that will get you great rates and make good use of your vouchers. Let’s start!

(EXTENDED) DEADLINE FOR VOUCHERS

UPDATE: Due to high load and long wait time for the service center, SAS announced that it has extended the vouchers expirations until January 31st, 2024.

Last-minute EuroBonus Awards At Great Value (Our Favorites)

1. Lufthansa First Class for 87k points (Round Trip)

There are several LH First seats on a bunch of routes to the North America and Asia, connecting in Frankfurt and Munich. Standard round-trip prices for these awards are anywhere from 165k to 270k points, but when using a 2-for-1 voucher you can score them for 87k-135k points per passenger.

2. Turkish Airlines A350 Business Class for 82k points (Round Trip)

Turkish Airlines has an extremely competitive Business Class product (especially on their new A350s), a well-connected network, a great new hub at Istanbul, and more-than-decent award prices with EB points. A killer combo!

These days, we are seeing great availability to destinations in North America and the Caribbean. Although, one of our favorites is from Europe to São Paulo, Brazil: a lengthy flight you can enjoy.

These awards are typically 99k points one way, or 165k points round trip. When using an Amex voucher, you get them at a whopping 87.5k point rate per passenger. These awards can generally be booked through the SAS EuroBonus portal (Star Alliance search), unless you want a more complex itinerary.

3. Thai Airways Business Class to Asia for 82k, to Australia for 137k points (Round Trip)

Thai’s 777-300ER Business Class can be a solid choice when traveling to Asia and even connecting further into Oceania [check our most recent review here].

You can get particularly good rates when flying to Australia, for example, Europe to Melbourne or Sydney. Round trip award tickets in Business Class cost 275k EuroBonus points, but with an Amex voucher, that becomes 137k points per passenger. A super decent deal considering there is great availability, and those tickets are expensive in cash.

4. ANA Business Class “The Room” for 82k points (Round Trip)

When thinking of ANA’s The Room, imagine a private jet cabin shrunk onto a commercial plane. Wide, fully-flat seats with Nishikawa comfort, sliding doors for ultimate privacy, a 24-inch 4K screen, and direct aisle access from every seat. It’s like your own little cocoon in the sky, perfect for work, relaxation, or just savoring the feeling of luxury.

It’s not cheap on points, but if you want pampering and unparalleled comfort on your next long-haul flight, ANA The Room might just be your EuroBonus dream redemption. Flights are also not easy to score as there are very few planes that have this reconfiguration.

Standard prices start a 99k points one-way and 165k points round trip. When using a voucher, you can score a seat for as low as 82.5k points round trip.

5. TAP A330-900neo Business Class for 65k points (Round Trip)

TAP’s A330-900neo is a fuel-efficient dream machine, boasting quieter cabins with mood lighting to ease jet lag, cutting-edge entertainment systems, and even aroma dispensers in the bathrooms! Its extended range opens up exciting long-haul destinations, although you’ll find most available seats to North America.

The standard rates are 78k points one-way and 130k points round trip. Using a voucher, you can get those tickets for as low as 65k EuroBonus points per passenger.

6. EVA Air Business Class for 82k points (Round Trip)

EVA Air not only has a fantastic Business Class product that feels like first. It also has convenient connections from/to almost everywhere via TPE, and it’s a great gateway from Europe to Asia. In addition, there’s often decent availability on short-notice flights.

Prices range 30k-99k one-way (depending on flight length), and up to 165k round trip. Using an Amex voucher that comes down to 82.5k points per passenger.

Here are some of the routes we’ve seen with plenty of award space
