Nearly two years have passed since SAS left Star Alliance and officially joined SkyTeam. A lot has happened since then: a major devaluation in December 2025, new partner airlines like TAP Air Portugal and TAROM, status match campaigns, a brand-new European Business Class, and growing signals that EuroBonus may not survive in its current form.

How do you navigate all this? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. This post is the ultimate guide to SAS EuroBonus, updated for 2026 with everything you need to know to maximize the value of your points today and prepare for the future.

The End of SAS EuroBonus?

Air France-KLM is set to acquire a majority stake in SAS, with expected closing in the second half of 2026. The future of EuroBonus is uncertain, and a merger with Flying Blue is increasingly likely. Check out our definitive guide where we cover the possible merger, what it means for your points and status, and a plan to protect the value of your points.

Key Takeaways

  • SAS is Now in SkyTeam: As of September 1, 2024, your EuroBonus points are used for award travel on SkyTeam airlines, not Star Alliance.
  • New Award Chart from December 2025: SAS raised prices, especially for Business Class and Premium Economy. Economy prices remain largely unchanged.
  • New Partner Airlines: TAP Air Portugal, TAROM, and potentially more SkyTeam partners are now available for award bookings.
  • Amex 2-for-1 Vouchers Work: Vouchers from SAS Amex cards in Norway and Sweden are valid for SkyTeam award bookings, but new vouchers issued after April 2025 cannot be used in Business Class.
  • Status Match Campaigns: SAS is actively offering status matching from Finnair Plus, airBaltic Club, and British Airways to strengthen the EuroBonus base.
  • The Future is Uncertain: A merger with Flying Blue and a shift to dynamic pricing could happen during 2026-2027.

SAS EuroBonus Award Chart: Prices for Award Flights on SkyTeam

In July 2024, SAS revealed the new SAS award chart with point prices when redeeming EuroBonus points on SkyTeam partners. The SAS points chart remains zone-based, and compared to the old Star Alliance chart, there are price increases and new fees, but also Premium Economy as a redemption option.

Since December 2025, updated, higher prices apply, especially for premium cabins. Below is the current EuroBonus award chart for SAS award flights and partner redemptions.

Deep Dive: The New Chart

The December 2025 Devaluation: New Prices

On December 1, 2025, SAS implemented the most aggressive devaluation in EuroBonus history. The increases hit Business Class and Premium Economy the hardest, while Economy was largely left unchanged.

SAS Flights to Asia and North America (One-Way)

Cabin Old Price New Price Increase
Economy Bonus 30,000 30,000 No change
Premium Bonus 40,000 45,000 +12.5%
Business Bonus 50,000 60,000 +20%

Partner Airlines (SkyTeam) Business Class (Round Trip from Europe)

Destination Old Price New Price Increase
Within Europe 60,000 80,000 +33%
North America 130,000 140,000 +8%
Middle East/North Africa 105,000 130,000 +24%
South America 165,000 190,000 +15%
Southeast Asia 187,500 190,000 +1%
Pacific Region (AU/NZ) 275,000 280,000 +2%

What Does This Mean?

Important: One-way partner awards cost 60% of the round-trip price. Despite the increases, EuroBonus still has a fixed award chart, which provides predictability. That may soon change if the program transitions to dynamic pricing.

Best EuroBonus Award Flights 2026: Sweet Spots and Tips

Despite the devaluation, there are still excellent redemption opportunities. Here are the best sweet spots to keep an eye on right now:

  • SAS Economy Long-Haul (30,000 Points One-Way): The price for Economy to North America and Asia was not increased. This is still fantastic value, especially with an Amex 2-for-1 voucher (15,000 points per person).
  • TAP Air Portugal Business Class: Lisbon to North America for 84,000 points one-way. Madeira routes in Business Class for just 48,000 points one-way, the easiest Business Class redemption in the entire partner chart.
  • SAS Mastercard Fly Premium: SAS Mastercard Premium cardholders can book Business Class at Economy prices on SAS flights. A huge perk.
  • SAS New European Business Class: SAS has reintroduced a proper Business Class on European routes, with a blocked middle seat and improved service. Book with points for excellent value.
  • Short SAS Flights Within Scandinavia: From 5,000-10,000 points one-way.
  • SAS New Winter Routes: Dubai, Phuket, and Krabi are now in the winter schedule, with the option to book using EuroBonus points.
  • SAS 25% Off European Award Flights: SAS regularly runs promotions with 25% off selected European routes.

Monitor Sweet Spots

Pro Tip: Use AwardFares to monitor availability on these sweet spots. Set up alerts and get notified as soon as seats become available on the routes you’re interested in.

Can You Transfer EuroBonus Points?

A common question is whether you can transfer EuroBonus points to another member or to a different loyalty program. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Between EuroBonus members: SAS does not currently allow direct point transfers between EuroBonus accounts. However, you can book award flights for other people using your own points.
  • To other programs: There is no option to transfer EuroBonus points to Flying Blue, Delta SkyMiles, or other SkyTeam programs. Points stay within EuroBonus.
  • From credit cards: Points earned on SAS Amex cards (Sweden/Norway) transfer automatically to your EuroBonus account. Rove Miles (US) offers 1:1 transfers to EuroBonus.
  • If EuroBonus merges with Flying Blue: It’s expected that existing EuroBonus points would be converted at some ratio, but nothing has been confirmed. This is another reason to redeem sooner rather than later.

Credit Cards and Bonus Partners

The right credit card can be the fastest path to a free flight. Here’s a quick overview of the most important cards for EuroBonus members:

Card Annual Fee (2026) Points per 100 SEK/NOK Best Perk
SAS Amex Classic Free 10 European 2-for-1 voucher (at 100,000 SEK spend)
SAS Amex Premium ~1,800 SEK/year 15 Global 2-for-1 voucher (at 150,000 SEK spend)
SAS Amex Elite ~6,900 SEK/year 20 Two 2-for-1 vouchers + 6 Status Points per 100 SEK
SAS Mastercard Premium Varies Varies Fly Premium: Book Business at Economy prices

Denmark

Note: SAS Amex cards are only available in Sweden and Norway. In Denmark, SAS Mastercard and SAS Lunar Debit are available as alternatives.

Other Earning Partners:

  • Hotels: SAS hotel portal (powered by Hotels.com) earns 30 bonus points + 15 level points per 100 SEK.
  • Car Rental: SIXT, Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar. Now also earns level points.
  • Activities: SAS Activities via GetYourGuide.
  • Rove Miles: First US-based transfer partner. 1:1 point transfer.

Finding and Booking SAS Award Flights: Search Portal and Calendar

Search Faster with AwardFares

Pro Tip: You can use AwardFares to see SkyTeam award seat availability for EuroBonus without logging in. Quickly search by date and route, set up alerts for your dream trip, and then head to the SAS website when you’ve found the right flight.

The process for booking award flights with EuroBonus points has changed slightly. Here’s everything you need to know:

  • SAS Bookings: The booking experience for flights on SAS remains largely the same. SAS has launched a new beta website for award searches with an improved interface and an award calendar that makes it easier to see availability across multiple dates.
    EuroBonus Search Portal for Award Flights on SAS (2025).
  • SkyTeam Bookings: The new portal for booking partner awards is now behind a log-in wall. You must be logged into your EuroBonus account to search and book.
    EuroBonus Search Portal for SkyTeam Flights.
  • Star Alliance Bookings: These are no longer possible through the EuroBonus portal. Want to still book with Star Alliance? You’ll need a different loyalty program, such as United MileagePlus or Aeroplan.

Using Amex 2-for-1 Vouchers

Good news for members in Norway and Sweden who hold a SAS Amex Elite or Premium card: the valuable Amex 2-for-1 vouchers (Companion Tickets in Norway) are valid when booking award flights on SkyTeam airlines.

Limitations

Important limitations to know:

  • You can only use one Amex 2-for-1 voucher per booking (online or via phone), and such bookings are limited to a maximum of two travelers.
  • New vouchers issued after April 2025 cannot be used in Business Class. If you have an older voucher, you can still use it in Business.
SAS Amex Elite 2-for-1 vouchers are now valid on SkyTeam airlines.

When Are SAS Award Flights Released? Release Dates for EuroBonus

While the general timeframe of 330-359 days in advance applies for award releases, the exact dates for EuroBonus members now depend on the integration between SAS and each individual SkyTeam airline. It’s important to note that the release date is the earliest an award might appear, not a guarantee.

We monitor these dates closely and keep our master guide updated with the latest information.

What’s Happening with EuroBonus? Future and Flying Blue

EuroBonus is at a critical juncture. Here’s what we know and what it means for you:

  • Air France-KLM Acquisition: The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026. SAS has stated that “EuroBonus will continue to exist,” but a merger with Flying Blue is considered highly likely.
  • Dynamic Pricing: SAS is actively recruiting a “Product Owner Dynamic Pricing” for award flights. This suggests the fixed award chart could be replaced by dynamic pricing, similar to Flying Blue’s model.
  • What It Means for You: The fixed award chart is EuroBonus’ biggest advantage compared to many other programs. If it disappears, so does the ability to plan redemptions with predictable prices.

Act Now

Our Recommendation: Earn points now and redeem them while the fixed award chart is still in place. Use AwardFares to find the best award flights before the rules change. The longer you wait, the greater the risk that your points lose value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Can I still use my EuroBonus points on Star Alliance airlines?

No. Since SAS officially joined SkyTeam on September 1, 2024, EuroBonus points can no longer be redeemed for new bookings on Star Alliance partners. Want to book with Star Alliance? You’ll need a different loyalty program such as United MileagePlus or Aeroplan.

Have the point prices for award flights changed?

Yes, and it happened in two steps. First, we got a new award chart for SkyTeam partners in September 2024. Then on December 1, 2025, SAS implemented further price increases, with up to 33% higher prices for Business Class within Europe. Economy prices remain largely unchanged.

Do my Amex 2-for-1 vouchers work on all SkyTeam airlines?

Yes, the vouchers are valid for award travel on SkyTeam partner airlines. However, there are important limitations: only one voucher per booking, a maximum of two travelers per booking, and new vouchers issued after April 2025 cannot be used in Business Class.

What happens to my EuroBonus Gold status?

Your EuroBonus Gold or Diamond status corresponds to SkyTeam Elite Plus. This gives you top-tier benefits like priority services, lounge access at over 750 lounges globally, and priority baggage handling across the entire SkyTeam network. Silver members correspond to SkyTeam Elite.

Will EuroBonus merge with Flying Blue?

It’s not officially confirmed yet, but it’s considered highly likely in connection with Air France-KLM’s acquisition of SAS (expected H2 2026). A merger would likely mean dynamic pricing, changed status rules, and potentially lower point value. Our recommendation: redeem your points while the fixed chart still applies.

What does dynamic pricing mean for my points?

If EuroBonus transitions to dynamic pricing (like Flying Blue), the price in points will vary based on demand, just like the cash price. This means there will no longer be fixed “sweet spots,” and popular routes and dates could become significantly more expensive.

Why can't I find any award seats on the SAS partner website?

Partner award availability can be limited and may not be bookable online if it involves complex itineraries (e.g., mixed cabins). If you see availability on AwardFares but not on the SAS website, you may need to call the EuroBonus service center to complete the booking manually. Use AwardFares to quickly check availability before contacting SAS.

What new partner airlines can I book with EuroBonus?

Since the SkyTeam transition, SAS has progressively added new partners. During 2025-2026, TAP Air Portugal, TAROM, and Vietnam Airlines (with direct flights to Copenhagen) have become available, among others. All 18 SkyTeam airlines can potentially be booked with EuroBonus points, including Air France, KLM, Delta, Korean Air, and Virgin Atlantic.

How many EuroBonus points do I need for a trip?

It depends on the destination and cabin class. Some examples with current prices: SAS Economy to North America or Asia costs 30,000 points one-way. SAS Business Class to the same destinations costs 60,000 points. Partner airlines (Air France, KLM, Delta, etc.) within Europe in Business Class cost 80,000 points round trip (48,000 one-way). See our full award chart above for all zones.

How do I use SAS points on KLM and Air France?

Yes, you can use EuroBonus points to book KLM and Air France flights. Since SAS joined SkyTeam, you can book award flights with all SkyTeam airlines, including KLM, Air France, Delta, Korean Air, Virgin Atlantic, and many more. To use SAS points on KLM: log into your EuroBonus account on the SAS website, go to the partner booking portal, and search for KLM or Air France flights. You can also find availability quickly with AwardFares before booking.

When are SAS award flights released?

SAS award flights are generally released 330-359 days in advance, but the exact date varies by airline. SAS-operated flights are typically released around 330 days before departure. Partner awards with SkyTeam airlines like Air France and KLM may have different release dates depending on the integration. Use AwardFares to monitor when seats appear.
