NEW: Book Flights On Singapore Airlines With EuroBonus Points ONLINE! (2023)
For a long time, it was not possible to book flights on Singapore Airlines with EuroBonus points through the SAS website. It was also hard to check availability for award seats. All the reservations had to be made via phone, and it usually took hours to find what you wanted. Sometimes, even multiple calls. Now, you can use the Star Alliance Bonus Ticket on flysas.com to search for awards and book them right away. It is also possible to use American Express Fly 2 for 1 vouchers when booking.
I burned my SAS EuroBonus points On these 3 flights… and here’s why

What to do as a frequent flyer during COVID-19? 500k miles to the garbage!
As a frequent flyer you might have a ton of questions and uncertainty about what to do with your miles and points. Are we going to loose them? Will miles get devalued? What happens if the airline goes bankrupt? Can I extend my elite qualifying period? When will I be able to book award seats again? Here are some thoughts…
