An exciting airfare opportunity to Oslo awaits travelers.
Using Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, current pricing is listed at $439 for Basic Economy. If you check Scandinavian Airlines’ website, the fare may drop to $427 for Basic Economy and $497 for Regular Economy.
The $497 fare includes one checked bag for each leg of the trip.
However, the $427 fare, categorized as Basic Economy/Economy Light, comes with several limitations:
Important Restrictions:
- No checked bags included—a charge of $75 applies for each way booked within 22 hours of departure, which increases to $105 if settled at the airport.
- No changes permitted to booking.
- No cancellations allowed—if the trip is canceled after the initial 24-hour risk-free window, the Basic Economy fare will be forfeited.
Many online travel agencies do not list the Basic Economy/Economy Light fares of Scandinavian Airlines clearly, so it is advisable to verify directly.
