EuroBonus route intelligence
SAS award seats to Washington D.C.
SAS flies to Washington D.C. from its Scandinavian hubs (CPH, ARN, OSL), and we log every EuroBonus award seat on the route continuously. Over the last 8 days we recorded 707 award-space openings across all cabins, 163 of them in Business. Business space typically appears 145 days before departure (middle half of openings: 44–250 days out). Once open, a Business seat survives a median of 1 day; 47% of the disappearances we observed happened within 24 hours.
