No, it's the same as reporting to the Swedish police regarding theft/vandalism - you won't get any response even if you have a confession of the person who did it. However by reporting/participating at least your opinion will be reflected in the statistics.

For intra-Europe flights, it doesn't look like there's a way to get two carry-on bags with any Y fare, even by paying. Am I missing something? Is this enforced?

CPH-Flyer

How do you count two? Full size plus personal item, then allowed. Ful size times two, then only if you are connecting to long haul J.

There is no way to pay your way to a higher carry on allowance. Enforcement is limited in my experience, though there are stories from time to time. Mainly Heathrow and Arlanda Though I do wish airlines would enforce size and count much harder.

You can pay for CBBG which allows you to bring large extra cabin baggage on board (like musical instruments).

Hey thhere,

I'll be flying DXB-ZRH-ARN on LX F and J and then (right after) on a seperate ticket ARN-ZRH on SAS Plus. (I will have 6 hours in ZRH and 4 hours in ARN, so I'm rather certain I will make that connection. But just in case, the ticket is flexible)
Now I have just found out that on European SAS Plus you only get one hand luggage. Horrific! Not even EBG or *G do get a second hand luggage?! Thta's straight out Blasphemy we got there!
I will be coming without checked bags (I will only have them checked from DXB to ZRH), but with two hand luggage and maybe one personal item(I can make sure that all of them are tagged as Hand luggage). What do you guys think are the chances that I have to check one at the gate? (One will be a small Rimowa suitcase, so there is no issue if I had to check it, but I'd rather hold on to it).

Looking forward to your insightful wisdom!

I guess it depends on the sizes of the 2 pieces plus personal item you are coming with.

Normally SK is not strict on checking carry on, and chances should be pretty high for getting them all in to the cabin. But if your pieces are both oversized, the likelihood will drop.

I think it depends on how full your flight is going to be. I had to gate check a carry on at LHR because the flight was full. They announced it at the gate to tell everyone to check-in their carry on.

Nick Art

Both are well in the size limits (I never had to check them ever so far). So I'm positive everything will be fine.

This shouldn't be an issue when I'm able to board as one of the first people, holding an SAS Plus ticket, right?

CPH-Flyer

LHR has at times been reported as being sticklers for this. But it does seem to be an outlier in the system.

LHR is pretty pathetic about this - tried it both on BA and SK. I did have to gate check a bag at CPH with TK - again due to full flight. TK didn't load the bag on our onward flight and we didn't have a tracking number (only a receipt - stupid us). Got our bag one week later and the bag was damaged.

I tried posting this in the SAS faq sticky a few days ago, but no responses, so wondering if it might be a better fit on this thread.


I'm hoping to fly from ORD in June / July 2019 on SAS to ARN. Award availability is very good through May, but then nothing at all in June or July next year. Anyone know when I should expect to see business class award availability show up for those months?

kauppias

I doubt business seats would come available for June or July anymore. Any seats would have been released allready and gone. SAS is not all that generous with award J seats.

AStarr

As above, likely already gone. Summer award seats go really fast.

Though this year, SAS did release a bunch of seats for August/September/October during this summer. I wouldn't count on that happening again though.
