Fly SAS to Stockholm from Atlanta, Boston, Miami and Newark from $379 round-trip
We're seeing some major price drops for flights to Sweden. This latest deal has flights to the Swedish capital, Stockholm, for less than $400 in some instances. That's a big discount from the average $700-plus fares commonly available.
The very best prices we found were through Scandinavian Airlines, commonly known as SAS. British Airways also has some nice discounts on flights to Stockholm, depending on your departure city. This sale involves several U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Miami and Newark.
The travel window is for flights between November 2024 and February 2025. Most itineraries include layovers, although we found a few nonstops at incredible prices.
Keep in mind that this deal features basic economy tickets. For these carriers, a basic economy ticket includes a free carry-on bag, but checked luggage will cost between $50 and $75 each way.
