Many governments dislike frequent flyers. Some demand that government employees must turn over their miles/points, although the airlines do not want to allow this. Others demand that people should pay taxes on frequent flyer points.
Norway and Sweden have forbidden awarding any points on domestic flights. But SAS still has Eurobonus and is allowed to give points on flights between Norway and Sweden, or to third countries.
What other governments forbid frequent flyer programs?
Also, the bilateral air services agreements can specify equipment, and also prices. Does any country make it a condition of air services agreements that miles/points on the arriving and originating flights should be banned?
