Scandinavian Airlines Increases Flights to USA

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) will be operating flights to all its US destinations when the airline resumes direct service to Boston in September and Miami in October.

SAS plans to operate its first Airbus A321LR aircraft on flights from Copenhagen to Boston, and will increase the number of flights from Copenhagen to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC starting in September.

From 1 October, the airline will resume service to Miami from Copenhagen and Stockholm respectively.

Towards the end of October, Miami will be served daily with thrice weekly flights from Copenhagen and Stockholm respectively as well as once weekly from Oslo.

SAS is currently present in the Chicago market with daily passenger flights as well as additional cargo only flights from Copenhagen and will restart the Stockholm-Chicago route later this autumn.

SAS’ US routes and departures this autumn:

* Copenhagen-New York – 7 weekly
* Copenhagen-Chicago – 7 weekly

“We are delighted to improve the connectivity for both passengers and air freight to and from Scandinavia from all three capitals as the demand increases. From September 2, SAS will reintroduce the route Stockholm-New York, in addition to the current direct routes from Copenhagen and Oslo,” said Karl Sandlund, acting CEO of SAS.

Although many countries are now easing their entry restrictions, most countries still require various types of travel and test certificates and it is important to be well-prepared well before arriving at the airport. To make it easier for travelers, SAS has developed a digital platform, SAS Travel Ready Center.

Through SAS Travel Ready Center, travelers can prepare everything they need online from home. On this site, customers can see what restrictions apply at their destination, upload travel certificates, and have them reviewed and verified by SAS. They can then download their boarding pass electronically and can go directly to the SAS self-service line at the airport.
