How many EuroBonus points do you need for a flight?

Short answer

Long-haul SAS award flights usually land between 60,000 and 100,000 points round-trip per person in economy, while intra-European trips often sit below 30,000. The 60,000-point welcome bonus therefore covers a large share of — sometimes all of — one long-haul round-trip.

How fast you collect the points

The SAS EuroBonus American Express Elite card pays a 60,000-point welcome bonus once the spend condition is met, then earns points on everyday spending — which usually gets you to a long-haul award far quicker than flying alone.

How to book with points

1. Search on flysas.com under Award flights and pay with points.
2. Stay flexible on dates — pricing swings a lot day to day.
3. Check taxes and carrier fees; those are always paid in cash.
4. Book early for peak season; the lowest-points seats go first.
