Sample flights
The following flights were priced as listed at the time of publication. We cannot guarantee the below round-trip flights will be available when you book:
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Brussels Airport (BRU), starting at $805
- Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Oslo Airport (OSL), starting at $818
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), starting at $818
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Copenhagen Airport (CPH), starting at $917
- Miami International Airport (MIA) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), starting at $911
- O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN), starting at $788
Consider a nonstop flight from Chicago to Stockholm. An economy ticket would cost $650 total, while a premium economy (called SAS Plus) ticket would cost just a bit more at $788 total.
You can rebook or receive a refund on a premium economy ticket with no extra fees. The fare includes both a carry-on and a checked bag.
Additionally, the premium economy cabin offers more comfortable seats with footrests, access to the SAS lounge, priority boarding, a three-course dining menu including drinks and more. All these perks should make the eight-hour flight more enjoyable.
These flights are perfect for travelers who want to visit multiple European destinations in one trip. You can book open-jaw flights, meaning you can fly into one airport and depart from another. (You'll still be responsible for transportation costs between the two cities, but most intra-European train and plane tickets are relatively cheap.)
Maximize your purchase
Don't forget to use a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases, such as:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred Card: 2 points per dollar on travel
- American Express® Gold Card: 3 points per dollar on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel
- The Platinum Card® from American Express: 5 points per dollar on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel®, on up to $500,000 of these purchases per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar
- Chase Sapphire Reserve: 3 points per dollar on airfare
Bottom line
If you want to fly to Europe in comfort, consider booking a premium economy ticket on SAS. The tickets are equivalent to normal basic economy prices, and you'll get much more for your money.
