And not only Scandinavia...
Actually it works between "any SK destination in Europe"-CPH-IAD and v/v, as long as you can find availability on a same-day SK flight which connects to the 12:20 CPH-IAD (otherwise the online engine will not book it).

This is what makes me so angry that they dont do the 22 or 24 hour connections. I tried MAD-CPH-IAD and of course nothing.
I would gladly fly night prior to get connection but even more interested in return to MAD as that connection would work fine on SK.
I booked ARN-CPH-IAD at least but will get stuck paying ow to MAD and dropping the CPH-ARN. JK is better price from ARN anyway but forced an overnight in ARN.
Any chance they will change the return to MAD for me? Bet not.

Called CPH number 24 hour and come to call center in Tallin and they can do nothing with EB bookings. They said internet support can not help.
They need multiple destination choice on net or start showing flights with 24 hour rule as well.

I tried too book the following in C for 40000 points:
ARN-CPH
CPH-IAD
IAD-CPH
CPH-ARN
The itinerary showed a ticket fee of 935 SEK in addition to points and taxes.
What do you think these 935 SEK is about? shouldn't the ticket cost be 0?
Vuxen: 935 SEK
Servicearvode: 0 SEK
Moms: 0 SEK
Skatt: 668 SEK
TOTALPRIS: 1.603 SEK

SK displays the fuel surcharges in the ticket price online. What you guys are seeing there are the YQ fuel surcharges.

This certanly looks like a fuel surcharge. However, I've tried pricing the same itinerary this in both Amadeus and on ITA, and no fuel surcharge shows up (which by the way is labelled YR on SK flights). I still agree with oliver2002 that this is a fuel surcharge though, perhaps one imposed on award tickets only (ala KLM)?

...and we are paying them then? They make no mention of this in the booking process. Is it just an accounting glitch that makes them show on our comfirmation?

I use my points for upgrades and hotels mainly but do love these point offers.
What I am commenting on as odd is that when you approve the purchase onlinie they show only the taxes and not this fuel surcharge. So, you are in sence electronically signing your credit card purchase without full disclosure of charges.

Did anyone notice they extended the flight availablity by a week during the day from 21 January back to 14 January. 11 minutes left to book I guess.
I just booked a FRA connection at least and a week earlier. Now I just have to get them to cancel the previous booking so I dont have to cancel this one tomorrow.
