About SAS Scandinavian Airlines

SAS Scandinavian Airlines (IATA: SK, ICAO: SAS) is the flag carrier of Scandinavia, headquartered jointly across Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo. Founded in 1946 as a consortium of the national airlines of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, SAS has grown into one of Europe's most established carriers with decades of service connecting Scandinavia to the world.

SAS is a member of the Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance, offering passengers seamless connections to hundreds of destinations across the globe. The airline's frequent flyer programme, EuroBonus, rewards loyal travellers with points redeemable for flights, upgrades, and partner benefits.

Operating from its primary hubs at Copenhagen Airport (CPH), Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN), and Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), SAS serves a wide network of European and intercontinental destinations, making it a key gateway for travellers connecting between Asia, the Middle East, and Northern Europe.

The airline's three hub airports — CPH, ARN, and OSL — are among the busiest in Northern Europe, offering excellent onward connectivity.

Tips for Finding Cheap Flights on Traveloka

Want to score the best deals on SAS Scandinavian Airlines flights? Follow these tips when searching on Traveloka:

• Book Early: Flights to Scandinavia often sell out quickly during peak seasons (summer and Christmas). Book at least 2–3 months in advance for the best fares.
• Fly Midweek: Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically cheaper than weekend flights. Consider adjusting your travel dates for significant savings.
• Use Price Alert: Activate Traveloka's Price Alert feature to monitor fare fluctuations on your preferred SAS routes and book when prices drop.
• Travel in the Off-Peak Season: Avoid the Northern European summer (June–August) and major holidays for lower fares. Shoulder seasons like spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer great value.
• Compare Fare Classes: Check the difference in price between Go Light, Go Smart, and Go Plus fares — sometimes upgrading to a higher fare with baggage included is more economical than purchasing add-ons separately.
• Look Out for Traveloka Promos: Keep an eye on Traveloka's promotional campaigns for exclusive flash sales, cashback offers, and limited-time discounts on international flights.
• Consider Connecting Flights: Routing through an intermediate hub can sometimes offer significantly lower fares compared to direct flights.
