Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) this week introduced a new concept — SAS Go Light — on routes between Scandinavia and six European countries: Finland, France, Greece, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain.

SAS Go Light is aimed at customers who want to travel only carrying hand luggage and secure their seats at the lowest possible price. The new hand baggage-only fare is a supplement to the existing SAS Go and SAS Plus.

As with all SAS products, SAS Go Light allows tickets to be re-booked within 24 hours, affords the option of selecting seats 22 hours before departure and gives travellers tea and coffee on board the aircraft. Customers may also pay for access to the SAS Lounge or to take extra luggage.

The price of SAS Go Light will be around 14 euros lower than SAS Go, and travellers will be able to add checked luggage for an additional 25 euros. Therefore, buying an SAS Go ticket will be the more cost-effective option for all customers who travel with checked baggage.

SAS Go Light is not available on routes within Scandinavia.
