Method
AwardWings reads the SAS EuroBonus award calendar for every route in its catalogue each night. This report uses 2024 checked route-months, collected between 23 October 2026 and 23 October 2026.
The calendar gives the lowest one-way points price per departure day and whether that price is a saver (standard) award. It does not show cabins or seat counts, which a live search confirms.
Only departures from Nordic airports are counted. Days without a bookable SAS flight are excluded. Failed checks are never counted as days without seats.
