A noteworthy offer to Milan has emerged.
According to the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, tickets can be priced at $508 for Basic Economy. Utilizing these dates on Scandinavian Airlines can yield fares of $496 (Basic Economy) or $566 (Regular Economy).
The $566 rate includes one checked bag per leg of the journey.
The $496 fare corresponds to a Basic Economy or Economy Light option, which carries specific limitations. Key details of these fares include:
IMPORTANT: Checked baggage is excluded; additional fees apply—$75 each way if booked 22 hours before check-in and $105 at the airport.
Changes and cancellations are not permitted, meaning if you cancel after the 24-hour risk-free window, the Basic Economy fare will lose its value for future purchases.
Many online travel agencies may not display the Scandinavian Airlines Basic Economy/Economy Light fares accurately.
