Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked SAS Go Light from Stockholm to Copenhagen thinking it included a small checked bag, but the Light fare only comes with the under-seat personal item. I had to pay 499 SEK at the airport to add my 20 kg suitcase. Next time I will either pack lighter or pay a little extra for the regular Go fare which includes one checked bag.
499 SEK
Flew SAS Plus from Oslo to New York and really appreciated having two checked bags of 23 kg each included in the fare. The 158 cm or 62 inch linear limit is standard so both of my suitcases fit easily. Plus class also gets priority boarding which is nice when you are travelling with a lot of luggage.
Travelled SAS Business from Copenhagen to Bangkok and loved having two carry-on bags of 8 kg each. I used one roller suitcase for clothes and one laptop bag for work, and both fit in the overhead bin without any issues. The personal item of 40 x 30 x 15 cm also went under the seat so I had everything I needed during the long flight.
