Bloody SAS IT
Trying to book bonus ticket for the weekend, BRU-CPH.
Want me to pay 56.000 miles :-(
And I am not in the "all tickets for points" part of the site.

Same for me last week. A bonus booking request CPH-SPU-CPH gave me a price of 52.000 points in eco - including 25 % discount. (in fact: double price)
Called Eurobonus member service "It is because it is not a direct flight but via OSL/ARN/BGO." NOT! The system has never been that, and if I tried to book a few days earlier the price was the correct 26.000.
Bloody SAS IT!

The price for a flight from Denmark to SPU is 30 000 points, but from Norway or Sweden it is 40 000 points.
What happens if you try to fly from CPH to Europe through ARN or OSL, is that you first pay 12 000 points for the flights to ARN/OSL and then 40 000 points for the flight to SPU from there.
There seems to be a rule against "backtracking" this way on awards, or in the words of SAS: "In some cases, there are no direct flights within a zone or between two zones, so you must transit in another zone - which could make the award trip more expensive."

Ended up booking at SN at 250EUR return. incl. earning 750 points + bonus/leg. Nice compared to SN's 25 % game :-(
