SAS Scandinavian Airlines: what to check before booking

SAS is a useful option when an itinerary connects through Scandinavia. A route that looks similar on a map can differ greatly in transfer time and the airport used.

Route and connection

Compare the schedule and fare type for each leg, including any partner-operated flight and the time available to transfer.

What the fare includes

Check the booking screen for seat selection, a checked bag, change rules and refunds. Compare the final price with the same extras on another itinerary.

Baggage rules

SAS ticket types differ: Economy Light within Europe does not include the standard overhead carry-on bag, while other ticket types have different allowances. The allowance on your exact ticket takes priority over a general guide, especially when another airline operates a segment. Read SAS Scandinavian Airlines’s official baggage or fare rules before paying and again before departure.

Three checks that save time

  1. Confirm the departure and arrival airports, local times and total journey length.
  2. Identify the operating airline on every segment and check the connection margin.
  3. Add bags and seats to both fares, then compare the final price and change conditions.

Compare another option

For a second itinerary, see our Norwegian guide. You can also compare all airlines side by side before searching current flight prices.
