Scandinavian Airlines, more commonly known as SAS, is the national carrier for three countries at once. It is a joint project of Denmark, Sweden and Norway with bases in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo and smaller cities in Scandinavia.
SAS will move from Star Alliance to rival SkyTeam in 2024.
SAS operates a fleet of around 120 aircraft in blue and white Airbus A320 (all series), Airbus A330 and Airbus A350. On less busy routes, SAS also flies Embraer E190, Bombardier CRJ-900 and ATR 72 aircraft.

Whether you’re flying with SAS Scandinavian Airlines for the first time or repeatedly, check out our handy tips and recommendations:
Hi, does anyone have any current experience of whether Flying Blue benefits are recognised after SAS joined Skyteam? I have Silver and should therefore have baggage allowance, which the SAS app doesn't show me. So I don't know if they don't recognize it or if they haven't linked the systems yet. 🤷
So the key is to make sure it's not on the Smart Tariff.
So in the tariff it's SAS Go Light, which is the cheapest one. It's just that on Skyteam, even the cheapest fare should have baggage. It works like that on KLM, AirFrance, Korean,... but I don't know if it works on SAS anymore.
On paper it should be so, but practice is obviously different, even for people with elite plus... The sure thing is a machine gun, so call or write.
You had a SAS GO Light, that ticket has an exception to it, when you have SAS GO Light ticket then your benefits from the bonus program
you are using will not provide you with extra baggage for free. In this case you needed to pay for the baggage.
This is what the Skyteam official website say:
"One additional bag on top of bags included in ticket conditions (except 'Go Light' Tickets).
The weight of the extra bag mirrors the weight of the bag included in the booking class in case of 'piece concept'. 20kg in case of 'weight concept'."

We look forward to welcoming you on board again when given the opportunity!
Thanks!
