## Why weekends are harder

Friday departures and Sunday returns are the most popular days, so saver seats go first. A weekend only works on points when both directions have saver prices, which is why searching one date at a time takes so long.

Thursday departures and Monday returns widen the choice considerably and often cost the same number of points.

## Search the whole month at once

The AwardWings weekend search lists every destination where a Thursday or Friday saver outbound pairs with a Sunday or Monday saver return two to four days later. It uses the SAS calendar checked overnight, so the list appears instantly.

Pick a date from the list to run a live search and confirm the cabin, seats and taxes before you book with SAS.

- Start from the airport you can reach easily
- Allow Thursday and Monday as well as Friday and Sunday
- Check the seat count for every traveler
- Confirm both directions live before booking

## Short-haul trips are the easiest

European routes such as London, Paris, Amsterdam or Berlin have frequent departures, so saver pairs for a weekend are far more common than on long-haul routes.

Saver prices on short European routes started at 15,000 points one way in October 2026, which makes a weekend trip a good way to use a smaller points balance.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many points does a weekend trip cost?

On short European routes saver prices started at 15,000 points each way in October 2026, so about 30,000 points return per adult, plus taxes.

### Which days should I use for a weekend trip?

Search Thursday or Friday out and Sunday or Monday back. Including Thursday and Monday gives many more saver options.

### Do I need two separate tickets?

No. You can book a round trip with SAS, but checking each direction on its own helps you find the saver dates.
