Also, calling in often takes a very long time (long wait, slow agents). Would I in stead be able to simply book a one-way Business ticket for the inbound trip, and then call in and cancel the inbound leg of the original booking but keep the outbound business flight? I would of course have to pay the cancellation fee but I am not sure whether it is possible to cancel an award ticket partly?
Would I even be able to also add a domestic flight (ie. add a CPH-AAL leg to a YYZ-CPH trip) to the new inbound Business ticket, in the event that there is no inventory for the inbound domestic flight?
My experience has been that the SAS Bonus tickets aren't changeable omce you havs begun the journey unless there is an operational issue or you're using the same day change benefit (and I seem to remember that they are also nonrefundable 24 hours before departure). So if I am correct, you can cancel the return whilst you're travelling, but you won't get the points back - just the taxes. However, I haven't tried to do that in over a year, so someone with a more recent experience may have more current info on the rules.
