We’ve been sharing a number of summer travel deals to Europe. This latest sale is for flights in the fall and early 2025. Scandinavian Airlines, more commonly known as SAS, has slashed fares on flights to a slew of countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
The sale includes several cities that aren’t usually seen in deals like this. So, there’s potential to build an open-jaw itinerary that lets you explore several cities during your vacation.
Departure cities include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York City and Washington, D.C.
The travel window is between September and March of next year, but the best prices we found were mostly in November and December, as well as January 2025. Nearly all flights in this sale involve layovers, except for a few nonstops to Copenhagen. We spotlight a few notable ones below because of the excellent price.
The sale fares include a free carry-on. Checking a bag will cost between $75 and $85 each way. If you book a ticket on SAS, upgrade to the carrier’s “Go Smart” tier, which will cost you around $25 to $55 each way. It gets you one free checked bag, and it costs less than booking the cheapest fare and paying the fee for a checked bag separately.
