SAS EuroBonus

₹0.82 best ₹/pt achieved ₹0.90 our house value

EuroBonus devalued hard through 2023–24 and then SAS walked out of Star Alliance into SkyTeam (1 Sep 2024) — but the program everyone still calls "dynamic" only prices its OWN seats that way. SkyTeam partner metal runs off a published region-by-region chart valid from 1 December 2025, one-way costs 60% of the round trip, and there is NO fuel surcharge — just a €25–95 partner booking fee per traveller, which is a real edge over Flying Blue on identical AF/KLM metal. India sits inside EuroBonus's "Central, East & South Asia" region, and the within-region cell is where this chart earns its keep. Two things to watch: Vietnam Airlines, China Airlines and Air Europa metal price at ×2, and the only way in from India is Radisson Rewards at 7:1 — a very long road for every point.

the take, in full fold that back up

The table

Redemption Points Surcharge Typical cash ₹ / pt vs index
DEL/BOM/BLR → Seoul/Hong Kong/Shanghai/Taipei, business on SkyTeam partner metal (one-way) 30,000 — — — —
India → the Gulf, business on SkyTeam partner metal (one-way) — the anti-spot 96,000 ₹6,000 ₹85,000 ₹0.82 0.9×

₹/pt = (typical cash − surcharge) ÷ points, computed only from sourced numbers — the build fails if a row's arithmetic doesn't. A dash means no honest cash anchor exists; the row's note below says why. Dynamic-priced programs are framed as “typical”, never guaranteed.

Chart-priced, not live seats. Every corridor behind this page is priced off published award charts — 39,855 options across 2,450 corridors. 37% of the 39,855 priced options on the board are stated estimates for programmes that publish no chart; they are marked ~ est. and never crowned the play. Nobody here can see whether a seat exists on your date — confirm the space with the programme before you transfer. Points that leave your issuer do not come back.

Row by row

DEL/BOM/BLR → Seoul/Hong Kong/Shanghai/Taipei, business on SkyTeam partner metal (one-way)

unpriced

Within "Central, East & South Asia" the chart is 25,000 economy / 50,000 business round-trip, so 30,000 points buys a one-way business seat from India to North Asia — the cheapest VERIFIED business price our board carries on those corridors, under Cathay's 33,000 and AAdvantage's 40,000. Korean Air's Delhi nonstop to Seoul is the clean way to fly it; route it on Vietnam or China Airlines metal instead and the ×2 multiplier makes it 60,000. No fuel surcharge, but budget the €25–95 booking fee. No dated India–Seoul business fare we trust, so no ₹/pt claimed.

Feed it: No Indian card direct — Radisson Rewards 7:1 (the only way in)

as of 1 Aug 2026 flysas.com

India → the Gulf, business on SkyTeam partner metal (one-way) — the anti-spot

₹0.82/pt

The same chart that is generous inside Asia is punishing out of it: Central, East & South Asia → North/Central Africa & Middle East is 160,000 business round-trip, so 96,000 one-way to Dubai, Doha or Jeddah. Against ₹85,000 cash J on the corridor that is ₹0.82 a point — under SAS's own ₹0.90 house mark, and six times what Alaska's Oman Air routing asks. North America is worse still at 108,000 one-way. Published so the chart's good cell doesn't sell you its bad ones.

Feed it: Radisson Rewards 7:1 — 672,000 Radisson points for this seat, which tells you everything

The corridors that feed it

No Indian card transfers into SAS EuroBonus directly. None of the 40 destinations our issuers actually reach — tracked in data/transfer-partners.yaml — is this program, so there is no direct ratio to print. The road in is a hop, and this is it: every chain the optimizer will actually walk, best chain per source currency, cheapest to mint first.
