A great fare opportunity to Tallinn has emerged.
Using Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, tickets are currently priced at $466 for Basic Economy. When checking the dates on Scandinavian Airlines, the fare adjusts to $454 (Basic Economy) or $554 (Regular Economy), which includes one checked bag for each leg of the journey.
It’s important to note that the $454 fare is classified as a Basic Economy fare with certain limitations, including:
- Checked baggage is not included and costs $75 each way if purchased within 22 hours of check-in. At the airport, it rises to $105.
- No changes permitted once the ticket is booked.
- No cancellations allowed; if you cancel after the 24-hour risk-free window, the fare holds no value for future flights.
