A great promotional fare to Amsterdam is currently available.
According to Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, this fare is priced at $575 (Basic Economy). When checking dates on Scandinavian Airlines, a repricing shows a fare of $563 (Basic Economy) or $663 (Regular Economy).
The $663 fare includes one checked bag for each leg of the trip.
In contrast, the $563 fare is a Basic Economy / Economy Light option that comes with certain restrictions. The restrictions for Scandinavian Airlines’ Basic Economy / Economy Light fares include:
Checked bags are NOT included—purchasing them costs $75 one way if booked more than 22 hours before check-in, or $105 at the airport.
No changes are permitted.
No cancellations are allowed. If you cancel after the 24-hour risk-free period, the Basic Economy fare will have no redeemable value.
Most online travel agencies may not display Scandinavian Airlines’ Basic Economy / Economy Light fares accurately.
