SAS Scandinavian Airlines is offering a reduced “Family & Friends” fare for premium economy and business class tickets on some routes. Depending on the route and travel class, we observed savings between 13% and 29%.
We don’t assume that you happen to have a SAS employee in your circle of friends. Fortunately, the term “friends” is quite broad. And we are all, of course, friends of this particular SAS employee who shared the code on Facebook.
Nowhere on the website is there any mention of having to present proof of any kind. The fare is also not marked as a special rate. It looks like a normal ticket. It just has a lower price.

Example Prices
Below are a few examples of prices with and without the Family & Friends discount. On long-haul routes, we observed discounts of up to 29%, making some already affordable offers even more attractive. The business class flights from Scandinavia to North America have the highest discount.
- Premium Economy:
- Chicago: e.g. from Stockholm for €537 instead of €617 (13% discount)
- e.g. April 18 – 25
- New York: e.g. from Oslo for €551 instead of €633 (13% discount)
- e.g. May 22 – June 4
- Seattle: e.g. from Stockholm for €685 instead of €849 (19% discount)
- e.g. May 30 – June 7
- Chicago: e.g. from Stockholm for €537 instead of €617 (13% discount)
- Business Class:
- New York: e.g. from Oslo for €1,212 instead of €1,700 (29% discount)
- e.g. May 14 – 27
- New York: e.g. from Oslo for €1,212 instead of €1,700 (29% discount)
You can also combine travel classes, e.g. flying from Oslo to New York in premium economy and back in business class for €872.
You can also use this sale for business class tickets within Europe, such as:
- Stockholm – Athens: €225 instead of €289 (22% discount)
- e.g. April 17 – 24
- Oslo – Milan: €220 instead of €283 (22% discount)
- e.g. May 2 – 14
- Oslo – Barcelona: €213 instead of €275 (23% discount)
- e.g. April 12 – 18
Conditions
Below is a brief overview of the most important restrictions and conditions:
- Booking period: until March 9, 2026
- Travel period: March 30 to June 7, 2026
- Only flights operated by SAS (or SAS Connect, BRA, etc.) are available
- Depending on the fare, a rebooking fee may apply
- There are only a certain number of specific tickets per flight
- Mixed cabin bookings (e.g., business one way, economy the other) are also possible
Only some routes are available. For instance, we sadly couldn’t find any discounted prices to Asian destinations, such as Seoul and Tokyo.
How It Works
To book, you must first go to the Family & Friends page of SAS. There you will be asked to enter the access code:
Afterwards, you will see the usual SAS booking mask, where you can select your origin, destination, and date. When selecting the fare, the normal fares are displayed but at a reduced price. It’s best to compare this with a different internet browser to see how much you can really save.
There is a calendar on the website with crossed-out prices that is supposed to compare the prices with and without the discount. However, it is not always accurate.
Editor’s Note: I liked the last 2 Friends&Family sales better. The number of available routes, the prices, and the travel period were better back then. Nevertheless, there are some very sweet prices here too. I especially like the business+premium combination to New York for under €900.
