SAS offers special fares for young people under the age of 26. With SAS Youth Fares, you can often save a significant amount on flights to and from Scandinavia. Additionally, long-haul flights. For example, from Scandinavia to North America are also cheaper than regular fares.
These fares are particularly attractive compared to standard prices if you want to fly at short notice or during peak travel periods (e.g., during summer holidays).
While flights from Scandinavia can sometimes be relatively cheap with easyJet or Norwegian, they are often quite expensive. However, if you are between 12 and 25 years old, SAS has a great offer for you. As one of the few airlines in Europe, SAS provides dedicated fares specifically for young travelers.
Search & Book
SAS Youth Fares can only be booked through this specific SAS landing page. It is important to start your flight search directly via this link. There, you will also find a low-price calendar, which allows you to quickly and easily see when the cheapest flights are available.
The offer has almost no restrictions. There is no minimum stay, no advance booking period, and no expiration date. If there is availability, you can easily book flights for the same day. According to SAS, booking is only possible in booking classes V or O. Your age must be verified with a valid ID at the airport; otherwise, SAS reserves the right to refuse boarding and cancel the flight.
Another advantage is the flexible rebooking policy. Changes to the ticket are possible at any time; you only have to pay the fare difference between the old and new flight. There is no fixed rebooking fee.
Short Haul
Below is an example of a flight from Copenhagen to Berlin from June 13 to 14 (prices were calculated on April 30, 2026):
On the same travel day, the cheapest regular fare for these flights would cost €251:
For the morning or evening flight, the savings with the youth fare is approximately 31%. Prices remain more or less fixed, even at short notice. Naturally, not every flight can be booked this way, as some may be sold out or the required booking class may no longer be available. According to SAS, you always save at least 10% compared to the standard fare, and the airline even claims that discounts of up to 70% are possible.
Connecting flights to destinations within Scandinavia are also bookable, although the savings there are usually not as significant.
Long Haul
Youth Fares also apply to long-haul routes, though the prices are no longer as attractive as they once were. You can book a round-trip flights from Copenhagen to New York for young travelers start at approximately €515:
In this case, travelers aged 26 and over would pay nearly €591 without checked baggage. The price saving for youth and young adults is €77 on this case:
It is always worth comparing prices with other airlines before booking. It may be considerably cheaper elsewhere if you only intend to travel with carry-on luggage.
