San Francisco – Vienna, Austria. $474 (Basic Economy) / $574 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes – The Flight Deal

Exciting Sale to Vienna!

The Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software shows a fare of $486 (Basic Economy). Using those dates with Scandinavian Airlines can bring the price down to $474 (Basic Economy) or $574 (Regular Economy).

The $574 fare includes one checked bag for each leg of the journey.

The $474 fare is a Basic Economy/Economy Light option with limitations. Key points for Scandinavian Airlines Basic Economy/Economy Light fares:

• DO NOT include checked bags—these will cost $75 each way if purchased 22 hours before check-in, and $105 at airport check-in.
• DO NOT permit changes.
• DO NOT allow cancellations. If you cancel after the 24-hour risk-free period, the Basic Economy ticket will not retain value for future use.
• Most online travel agencies do not show Scandinavian Airlines Basic Economy/Economy Light fares explicitly.
