As you can see below, that’s an increase of 5,000-10,000 points over the current rates for ‘SAS Plus’:

Currently, the bonus price for an SAS Plus ticket on domestic Scandinavian routes remains unchanged, while intercontinental Business Class routes still require 50,000 EuroBonus points.
Bottom line
The increases are quite significant, but it is for a substantially improved product compared to SAS Plus.
With longer intra-Europe Business Class awards topping out at 35,000 points, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see those long-haul 50,000 point Business Classs awards increasing soon…
