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
I had more than 750.000 SAS EuroBonus points in my account and I was afraid that the airline would shut down the program or devalue the points after the recent strike. I used more than 174.000 SAS EuroBonus points in these 3 flights to secure the value of those points. I show you all my three redemptions.

SeatSpy: Best way to find British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Reward Flights (and more to come!)
SeatSpy is a great new tool to find reward seat availability across multiple cabins and setting WhatsApp and SMS seat alerts. It’s similar to AwardFares, but for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, although they report more airlines and features are about to come! Huge promo for early adopters.
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…
No one wants to fly anymore… and you can see it in the award seats (AwardFares)
Given the current airline crisis caused by coronavirus, almost no one is flying anymore, and it is interesting to see how award seat availability is increasing in the next months (April and May). I took a couple of screenshots with the tool AwardFares (Star Alliance)
