Remember your EU-rights! The airline has to offer you a choice between full refund, rerouting on same day or rebooking to another date. So if you want to go to LBA ask SAS to reroute you or suggest a route to them (it will probably go smoother if it is on Star alliance).

They handled it well. My route was DUS/CPH/LBA and they offered me DUS/CPH/AMS/LBA. I decline due to the crazy routing but to be fair, they did try. I doubt the agent knew where LBA was as she could have tried to persuade me to take MAN as an alternative - an hours train ride away. Anyway, I'm happy and decided to be adventurous and take the train! Never been on Eurostar and 1st class ticket DUS/LON is within 2 or 3 Euros what I paid for the SK ticket.

Looks like LBA will be back in May?!?!?, 3 times a week with better flight times and on an A319?! (May 18 I see a SAS A319 CPH-LBA)
This service failed just as I was thinking it would. Flight times that did not allow for any connections in CPH on the LBA-CPH. I hope they re-launch with better flight times and allow connections.
