Frågor om att boka Eurobonus award resa

[Canadien]

What I am wondering in that case: Isn‘t it basically impossible to book this on one return ticket? Because I cannot make the booking for the flight back since it wont be available yet and I cannot postpone the booking process cause there wont be any availabilities?

Yes. You need to book
1) longhaul out online at 00:00 local time
2) possibly call in to add connection
3 ) call in to add return when it is released (00:00 CPH time) - you need to dial an International number that is open at that time.
4 ) possibly call in again to add connection if it wasnt released yet in 3)

@nils1603 As it's a popular route I recommend to book CPH-MIA online as one-way and call in (3) to let them cancel and add the released awards to the existing outbound booking. It's unlikely that the awards won't be released even if some people have experienced that, just make sure that they don't unnecessarily cancel the outbound to make it round-trip.
The call can be done a few hours or days later to reduce the likelihood of having the released awards taken by someone else that is monitoring the awards

So a oneway booking can be changed to a return ticket without problems

Why cancel? I just called and added my return. Booked ARN-CPH-BOS online (one way) and called in and added EWR-ARN (and made it a return open jaw).

Correct, adding a return to an existing one-way won't be an issue.

Even if you call to time the release someone else that complete the booking under 1 minute may be quicker than the agent that is helping you to add the return trip. By booking online and calling in you reserve the route and let them cancel and adding the released award to the existing outbound booking at a time when it's less likely that someone else is searching for availability.

Ok, got it (I think). Book two one-way online then call in and cancel one of them and then add the released award to the one remaining one-way to make it a return trip.

Oklar trådval. Fick just ändringar för utan o skämta 10.e gången i vår resa till Cancun. Standardmailet om att 5 dagar ska _jag_ höra av mig annars har jag accepterat ändringen. Nu ser dock bokningen ut såhär. Vad tusan händer om jag inte hör av mig och bokningen ligger kvar såhär? Är det upp till SAS o få hem mig?

Jag är ombokad på negativ transfertid:

Det är inte upp till SAS att få hem dig. Detta måste du lösa själv, du har blivit informerat. Tyvärr kommer det kräva att det finns nya bonusplatser att hitta från IST. Det kan kanske vara en öppning för en mer kreativ lösning om dessa avgångar är innan 14 dagar, men annars måste du nog tillsammans med SAS hitta alternativ.

Inser ju det är sanningen med. Men vad hade hänt om jag glad i hågen inte sett o bara rest? Rent teoretiskt. Hade de släppt iväg mig på en omöjlig bokning?

Lär ju få bråka ihjäl mig med eurobonussupporten. Det där är ju ett s.k. married segment så den tillgänglighet jag ser ist - arn med diverse byten lär de väl jävlas med o säga nej det går inte o så huac.
