Exciting flight deals to Warsaw!
The Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software lists fares starting at $539 for Basic Economy. However, when using those dates on Scandinavian Airlines, the price drops to $527 (Basic Economy) or $627 (Regular Economy).
The $627 fare allows for one checked bag each way.
In contrast, the $527 fare is a Basic Economy/Economy Light option with certain restrictions. Key points about Scandinavian Airlines’ Basic Economy/Economy Light fares include:
- DO NOT include checked baggage – costs $75 each way if purchased 22 hours before check-in, and $105 if purchased at the airport.
- DO NOT permit changes to the itinerary.
- DO NOT allow cancellations – once the 24-hour risk-free period has passed, the Basic Economy fare will not offer any value for future purchases.
- Many online travel agencies may not accurately display Scandinavian Airlines’ Basic Economy/Economy Light fares.
