SAS to Europe: what it actually costs

Every route, against the cheapest alternative

Jon has flown SAS. That is what allows a cabin review of it to carry the Flown label. The cabin facts below are published specifications; what they are like to sit in for eight hours is what a flown review adds.

A route missing here means the carrier did not appear in results for that week, which is not the same as not flying it.

Is SAS the cheapest way to reach CPH?

Yes. On JFK to CPH, SAS was the cheapest carrier at $583. That is unusual: most flag carriers are beaten into their own hub by an airline selling connecting traffic.

Has Jon flown SAS?

Yes. SAS is on the flown roster, which is what lets any cabin review of it be labeled Flown rather than Researched. This page is about fares, not seats; any seat review publishes separately and carries its own label.
