Eurobonus trip in girlfriends name

Hi,

I became a EBB member in June and now i want to give my girlfriend a trip. We live in different countries and id like to take her to Stockholm.

Can i use my eurobonus points for this?

No problem, you can book it online. Beware though that with the new fuel surcharges imposed on award tickets you may get a better deal purchasing a normal ticket.

When you book online select 1 friend instead of 1 member, then you can enter the name.

But still, check how much a paid ticket costs as well.

Since im not flying with her i had to call and book the flight.
The price is 1/3 of a regular ticket but of course sas misspelled her name and i had to call them and ask them to change it. The person that answer didnt sound that interested to change the name but i hope he does so i dont need to call again.

No more "friends" on bonus tickets?

I seem to remember that SAS removed the "friend" option from the award tickets, but I think your girlfriend would qualify as "family".
