TRAVEL: SAS expands cheaper ‘Go Light’ concept across Europe

PASSENGERS flying with SAS can look forward to lower prices if they’re travelling with carry-on bags only.

The Scandinavian airline is expanding its ‘Go Light’ concept from April 27 to all European destinations after a positive response to its introduction on selected flights.

Go Light is designed for SAS customers who want to travel light with only carry-on bags, and who are also looking for a lower price.

The concept is being launched to complement the existing SAS Go and SAS Plus products and it’ll be around €14 lower than SAS Go.

“SAS Go Light has been piloted on our Dublin routes since last September and it has received a good response from SAS customers,” said Alan Sparling, GSA for SAS in Ireland.

“That’s why we are now launching SAS Go Light for all European destinations.

“As SAS Go Light will complement existing products, SAS customers will have more opportunity to choose the option that best meets their needs.”

SAS Go Light includes an option to cancel with a full refund within 24 hours, the ability to choose a seat 22 hours before departure, and tea and coffee on board.

Passengers can also pay for access to the SAS Lounge and add checked baggage from €25.

SAS EuroBonus member benefits are also provided when traveling on SAS Go Light. So, for example, Silver, Gold, and Diamond members can take checked baggage free of charge when booking in SAS Go Light. 

SAS Go Light will not be available domestically, within Scandinavia, or outside Europe.
