This new fee is only when changing over the phone, isn't it?
And what about the price? Is it the usual phone-fee of 500 SEK?</font>

Hope not 500 DKK ! then a trip to AMS could cost 20.000 point + 500 DKK tax + 500 DKK fee versus the best price for eco-class 945 DKK with miles earning [This message has been edited by The-Longhauler (edited Nov 19, 2003).]

This is the Swedish version:
"Från och med den 7 januari 2004 införs en serviceavgift vid ombokning och avbeställning av bonusresor, hotell och kryssningar per telefon. Avgiften tas också ut vid beställning av ersättningskort för Basic- och Silvermedlemmar i de skandinaviska länderna. Bokar du om eller avbeställer på sas.se är det fortfarande kostnadsfritt."
The last sentence says that online changes or cancellations will still be free of charge. How good is the online functionality for changes or cancellations, I've never used it? Also, in the Swedish version it's less clear exactly what fees do not apply to Gold members...

from the Danish EuroBonus Bulletin:
Du kan gratis ændre og afbestille dine bonusreservationer på www.sas.dk, hvor du også uden omkostning kan bestille et nyt medlemskort.

Serviceafgiften gælder ikke for Guld-medlemmer.
The part about online changes/cancellations being free of charge is in the first line, not the last line like in the Swedish version.
