Every feature in Bonussøk: a complete guide to the searches and tools

Bonussøk has grown into a full toolkit for finding and booking award trips. If you’re new, or you just want to see what’s on offer, this is the map of it all. Each tool has its own guide if you want to dig deeper.

Searching SAS

This is the core, and for many people it’s all they need.

• The standard search checks SAS award seats in real time and shows Economy, Premium Economy and Business side by side. Start here.
• The flexible search scans whole months, so you can find the cheapest day when your dates aren’t fixed.
• The weekend search shows which cities have seats on upcoming weekends, made for the spontaneous trip.
• The summer search covers the entire summer season, built for families and longer holidays.
• The open-jaw search finds trips where you fly home from a different city than the one you left from.
• Award availability shows historical trends, so you know when a route usually has seats.

Searching SkyTeam

Once SAS joined SkyTeam, the partners opened up a much bigger network. These tools search there.

• The SkyTeam search finds partner seats on Air France, KLM, Delta and more.
• The SkyTeam map shows the whole network on an interactive globe, so you can explore where you could go.
• SkyTeam destinations lets you browse available trips month by month.
• Ready-made SkyTeam trips give you curated round-trips that already have seats.

Planning and keeping track

• The trip planner stitches together several legs, hotels and feeder flights into one shareable plan.
• The award alert watches your routes and emails you when seats appear.
• The AI assistant lets you describe your trip in plain words and suggests routes and dates.

Judging the value

• The points calculator works out whether an award ticket is worth the points, or whether you’d be better off paying cash.

How the tools fit together

You don’t need to use everything. Most trips follow the same pattern, and each tool handles its own part of it:

1. Explore, if you haven’t decided yet. The map and the destinations overview show where your points can take you.
2. Search, once you know where and roughly when. The standard search for SAS, the SkyTeam search for the partners, the flexible search if your dates are loose.
3. Judge, before you redeem. The points calculator tells you whether the price is worth the points.
4. Catch what you can’t find. The award alert watches the routes that are empty right now and pings you when something opens up.
5. Put it together, once the pieces are in place. The trip planner gathers flights, hotels and feeder flights into one plan.

The point is that you rarely need more than one or two tools at a time. They’re there when the trip calls for them.

What it costs

Most of the searches sit on Premium, while the SkyTeam tools belong to Pro. You can test plenty for free first. See the overview of prices and plans, or go straight to the product page for the current numbers.

Where to start

If you’re new, start with the standard search. It’s free to try, and it’s the quickest way to see what your points can buy right now. From there you’ll find your way to the other tools naturally as you need them.
