Our weekly hunt for the best award tickets available to Italian reward travelers continues. After targeting New York under the Christmas holidays, today we move to the other side of the world, to Asia.
We also recently talked about the monthly offerings of Air France to fly from a handful of Flying Blue points to the U.S. and beyond.
How to accumulate Eurobonus points
Eurobonus is the loyalty program of SAS, Scandinavian Airlines.
At TFC, we focus on companies that allow Italian users to accumulate points either by flying or by transferring points from other programs, For example, Membership Rewards points. Of course, points can also be earned in many other ways: by renting cars, staying in hotels, shopping online, signing up for insurance packages and more.
If you are not yet an American Express customer, you can start accumulating points without pay the fee of American Express Gold and immediately begin to reap the benefits of this paper.
Destination Bangkok
Award flights are available for Valentine's Day, which can be booked on the airline's website Scandinavian airlines, part of the Star Alliance, to fly to Asian countries.
From Frankfurt, 2 Thai Airways flights depart daily to the capital of Thailand. An example: on Feb. 8/9/ 10, a minimum of 2 business seats are available at 82.5k points SAS EUROBONUS (equivalent to 103k MR) and 4 economy seats at 45k points each (equivalent to 56k MR).
Destination Taipei
Things are not so quiet in Taiwan at the moment, but the island off the coast of China remains a strategic destination for travel to the rest of the Asian nations. There are plenty of business seats available from various European airports (London, Milan, Vienna) to Taipei
At a cost of 82.5k SAS points one way there is an opportunity to fly business class with EVA AIR. For example: February 8 Milan-Taipei, direct flight in business class at 82.5k SAS points. Departures and arrivals with direct flights from London and Vienna as well.
Destination Japan
At the moment, the Rising Sun has its borders still (almost) sealed., but hopefully by February and March, when it will begin the blossoming of the cherry trees, things will have changed.
Also for the capital of Japan availability of many award places in business and economy by various European carriers such as Swiss, Lufthansa, Austrian, etc. The individual routes have Economy 45k SAS points and Business 82.5k SAS points as fares.
Interesting rate also to try the Lufthansa's business on the Boeing 747-8, the so-called "Queen of Heaven."
These are just some of the opportunities with which to use EuroBonus points, surely one of the most undervalued currencies Among Membership Rewards partners in Italy.
Tools to search for premium places
This is a question we often receive, also on our FB group where we exchange tips and advice.
Certainly the best way to find award seats is the company's website; it is the most up-to-date and the one with the most available seats. There are, however. Tools such as Seatspy that allow you to search multiple vectors at once Without having to do too many steps.
