FrIs there an age requirement for the acceptance of infants on SAS Airlines flights?
An infant should be at least 7 days old to travel on SAS Airlines. When traveling with an infant, he or she should be sitting on an adult’s lap. However, passengers can also book a separate seat for the baby, for the same price as a child ticket.
When is it necessary to reserve a seat and purchase a ticket for my baby?
If you are traveling with two children under the age of 2, you must have one child sitting on your lap and one in the next seat. Parents must purchase a ticket and reserve a seat for the child next to the parent, and, in this case, the charge is the same as a ticket for a child from 2 to 11 years of age. The child must be fastened in a car seat that the adult passenger must bring.
A round trip child ticket must be purchased for an infant under 2 years of age on the outbound flight who turns 2 on the return flight.
Traveling with Infants
Children under 2 years old enjoy a 90% discount on the price of their ticket when traveling on their parent’s lap. It is also possible for an infant to have his or her own seat. In this case, the child discount, which is up to 25%, will apply, but this discount is not available on all fares from the US. For an infant traveling in a separate seat, a car seat must be used.
On SAS flights to the US or Asia, bassinets are available for infants under 9 months. The baby cannot weigh more than 11 kg (24 lbs). The bassinet, placed on the cabin divider in front of your seat, has a length of 72 cm (28 in). Bassinets are provided free of charge, but you should book one as soon as possible since there is only a limited number available on each aircraft.
Infant Baggage Allowance
Passengers can check in free of charge for an infant: one bag weighing up to 23 kg with maximum dimensions of 158 cm (not applicable for SAS Go Light), a foldable stroller or baby buggy, and a car seat. If you are traveling on a SAS Go Light ticket, no checked baggage is permitted for your baby, except for one stroller and one car seat.
Remember that infants are not entitled to a cabin baggage allowance. Any infant item you bring on board must not exceed maximum weight and dimensions and will count towards your carry-on allowance.
Adults can bring their own baby food on board. All SAS Airlines aircraft have a changing table in at least one of the lavatories.
Traveling with Children
Passengers from 2 to 11 years old who have not yet turned 12 can purchase child tickets when flying with SAS. Children from 6 to 11 years must travel with a person who is at least 16 years of age. Otherwise they must travel as Unaccompanied Minors.
Children receive up to a 25% discount on the ticket price depending on destination, price, and booking class, but the discount is not available on all flights from the US. The discount is applicable for children under 12 years of age who are traveling with an adult older than 16 years of age but does not apply to taxes and fees.
When traveling with a child under 12 years of age, passengers can check in, free of charge, a stroller and a car seat, in addition to the baggage included in the ticket.
Adults can book special meals for children up to 24 hours before departure. Special meals are available when flying in SAS Plus on flights longer than 90 minutes in Europe and in all classes on routes to the rest of the world.
