Exciting fare options to Prague are currently available!
Using the Matrix Airfare Search platform, a flight can be priced at $511 in Basic Economy. However, booking through Scandinavian Airlines can yield a lower fare of $499 (Basic Economy) or $740 (Regular Economy).
The $740 option allows for one checked bag each way.
Scandinavian Airlines offers a Basic Economy fare at $499, labeled as Economy Light, which comes with certain restrictions. Notably, Basic Economy fares do not include checked bags, which will cost $75 each way if purchased 22 hours before check-in. At the airport, this fee rises to $105.
It’s also important to keep in mind that changes and cancellations are not permitted with Basic Economy fares—if you opt to cancel after the 24-hour risk-free period, the fare loses all value for future purchases. Many online travel agencies may not be displaying these Basic Economy fares appropriately.
