How to book this trip
| Your trip | How to book it |
|---|---|
| Same cabin the whole way | Book each leg as separate one-way award tickets on sas.no. |
| Mixed cabin: economy on the feeder, business on the long haul | That combination cannot be booked on sas.no. Call SAS EuroBonus on +47 21 89 64 00 and ask for it as a single trip. |
We see award availability per leg, not whether a particular combination can be ticketed. That depends on the airline's own rules for the combination.

- Which airlines fly Copenhagen–Johannesburg on points?
- We have seen award seats with KLM via Amsterdam, Air France via Paris, Virgin Atlantic via London. What is available varies by date and cabin.
- Can I use points one way and pay for the other?
- Yes. A one-way award books on its own, and you can buy the return as a normal ticket. On partner departures a standalone one-way costs 60% of the round-trip price; on SAS-operated departures the one-way price is the same as the price per direction.
- Why is the connecting leg full when the rest of the trip has space?
- Airlines sell some legs only as part of a particular combination, known as married segments. The same leg can be sold out in one combination and open in another, on the same aircraft.
