Great Fare to Vienna!
Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software lists this trip at $485 (Basic Economy). By using the same dates with Scandinavian Airlines, you can find fares for $473 (Basic Economy) or $573 (Regular Economy).
The $573 option includes one checked bag each way, while the $473 fare is a Basic Economy/Economy Light fare that comes with specific restrictions:
- Checked bags are not included – they cost $75 each way if purchased 22 hours before check-in or $105 at the airport.
- Changes are not permitted.
- Cancellations are not allowed – cancelling after the 24-hour risk-free period means the Basic Economy fare holds no future value.
- Most online travel agencies may not accurately show Scandinavian Airlines’ Basic Economy/Economy Light fares.
