US Traveler Note

EuroBonus has limited transfer partnerships with US credit cards. For most US-based travelers wanting to book Scandinavian routes, consider these alternatives that have better earning paths:

  • Miles to Copenhagen via Virgin Atlantic: 12k business class points one-way
  • Miles to Helsinki via Alaska: 45k business, no surcharges on Finnair
  • Miles to Stockholm/Oslo via Aeroplan on SAS-operated flights

SAS After SkyTeam: EuroBonus for a New Era

SAS joined the SkyTeam alliance in 2024 — a significant shift that reshaped the award booking landscape for Scandinavia. EuroBonus remains the home program for SAS-operated flights, offering the best award seat release and most consistent availability on SAS transatlantic routes. Those routes include nonstops from New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and Washington DC to Copenhagen (CPH), Stockholm (ARN), and Oslo (OSL). The 330-day advance booking window on SAS allows EuroBonus holders to lock in seats at open levels far ahead of travel, before inventory tightens.

For US travelers building EuroBonus balances: American Express Membership Rewards transfers to EuroBonus at 1:1 — making Amex the primary earning route for US-based EuroBonus members. SkyTeam membership now means Flying Blue Promo Awards and Delta SkyMiles can also access some SAS inventory, but EuroBonus retains priority access to SAS-marketed seats. The fixed EuroBonus award chart (30,000 economy, 60,000 business one-way to Scandinavia) provides predictability that SkyTeam partners with dynamic pricing cannot match.
