A great opportunity for affordable travel to Oslo has emerged.
Using the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, fares start at $409 for Basic Economy. Alternatively, booking with Scandinavian Airlines can lower the price to $397 (Basic Economy) or $467 (Regular Economy), with the latter including one checked bag each way.
The $397 fare is a Basic Economy option, which comes with significant restrictions, including:
IMPORTANT:
- Checked bags are not included, costing $75 each way if purchased at least 22 hours before check-in. This rises to $105 at the airport.
- No changes are permitted.
- No cancellations allowed—if you cancel post 24 hours from booking, the fare has no value for future travel.
Many online travel agencies do not display the Basic Economy / Economy Light options from Scandinavian Airlines correctly.
