Travel enthusiasts may find an appealing opportunity for a flight to Warsaw. Utilizing Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, the Basic Economy fare appears priced at $407. However, travelers booking through Scandinavian Airlines can access a lower fare of $395 for Basic Economy or $465 for Regular Economy with one checked bag included.
It’s important to note that the $395 Basic Economy fare comes with significant restrictions: checked baggage incurs a fee of $75 if bought within 22 hours of departure, increasing to $105 for airport check-in. Additionally, this fare does not permit changes or cancellations, meaning if the ticket is canceled after the 24-hour risk-free window, it becomes valueless for future travel. Notably, many online travel agencies may not display these specific Basic Economy prices.
