SAS is the airline you'll most often encounter when travelling to/from Scandinavia, and their fares are usually slightly higher or similar to the largest competitor, Norwegian.
SAS fares are particularly good on domestic flights, and there are occasional deals from European destinations to North America.
When to buy tickets and prices
The cheapest way to get tickets is at flysas.com.
As SAS flies with competing airlines on most routes, we also recommend using the vendor comparison search engine skyscanner.com, where you can always choose by clicking through to the airline's website.
Prices for one-way tickets within Europe, when purchased at least 2 months in advance, usually range from 100 eur to 180 eur.
Fare classes
SAS aircraft include standard economy and business class.
Tickets can be purchased in several different fare classes, where the cancellation and change policy or the number of bags included in the fare vary.
Detailed information on baggage dimensions can be found in this chapter.
The cheapest SAS GO Light tickets include only a small carry-on bag.
Tickets from SAS GO PRO upwards can be cancelled and changed for a fee or for an additional fee up to the new fare level.
