Business Full Flex rules?
I am about to make two bookings, as I understand from the Business Full Flex rules they are 100% refundable except the 30,- booking fee. My question is if that also applies if you have checked in and received BPs, as we are waiting for a third person for a IC flight, we would like to have a backup in case he doesnt make the connection, so would it be safe to buy two Full Flex tickets, check in (no luggage though) and then cancel it if he is a no show and then use our second pair of later tickets?
Thanks for any kind suggestions

Yes, you can always get a refund for a full flex ticket, or rebook it, even after you've checked in. Your third person has to check in at least 1 hour before the flight, but this can be done 22 hours before departure. If you inform at the gate that you are waiting for someone, they might be able to arrange for them to get off the plane first (if it is a SAS flight), and help them to the gate if time is a problem.
You might get some more advice if you could inform which airport you are flying from, where you are flying to, and which company your third person is flying with.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to raise the topic (it seems outdated) - are those rules still applicable?
We will have a similar situation: I will book 2 tickets on the same day, but different times (both SAS, both I'll purchase 1 month before the flight).
Later I'll check-in (online) using both tickets and thus I will have 2 boarding passes. Both of them are SAS Plus Full Flex.
In case my wife will manage to catch me up on the earliest flight, I'll need to cancel my second ticket.
Is it possible to cancel it, say, 2-3 hours before flight take off and get a full refund (except booking fee I guess)? And how long it usually takes to get a refund on my card?
Thanks!

From my experience a regular Plus ticket (i.e. No Saver) is enough. I always got the complete amount back.
It can be that SK is checking at some point if your +1 can be on both flights and they might cancel one ticket if she can‘t be.

Generally no,, I don't think that is risky. But yeah if you are looking to get on SK402 or Sk409 I might But on the far majority of routes, I would not be worried.
The latest I have cancelled a full flex Plus was about 1.5 hours before departure For a full refund..i don't know if it matters, but just wait with check in until you know if you need it.
