Checked Baggage
When you have already checked in, you can get your luggage tags at a self-service kiosk at the airport. Passengers must leave their baggage at the baggage drop counter before the following deadlines:
| Flight | SAS Business, SAS Plus, EuroBonus Gold and Star Alliance Gold members | SAS Go |
| Domestic | 30 minutes | 30 minutes |
| To Europe | 30 minutes | 40 minutes |
| From Europe | 45 minutes | 45 minutes |

Excess Baggage
Passengers can pay to bring extra checked baggage, but for safety reasons, if the baggage exceeds 32 kg, it should be repacked or sent by cargo. Passengers may check in up to 9 additional pieces of baggage. If you are traveling with excess baggage or the baggage exceeds dimension or weight limits, a fixed price will be charged per piece of baggage. The excess baggage fees below are one way and apply when traveling only with SAS. If you are traveling onward with a codeshare airline, other rules may apply.
Passengers can pay for excess baggage during Online Check-in or at the self-service kiosk at the airport. Because SAS Airlines is changing the check-in system, in some airports, it is not possible to pay for extra baggage at the kiosk. Passengers can still use the kiosk to get their baggage tags but must pay the excess baggage fees at the baggage drop counter if they can’t pay for extra bags at the kiosk.
Fees for extra baggage vary according to route and if you purchase in advance or at the airport:
- Additional checked bag (max. 23 kg):
- Online, up to 22 hours before departure – EUR 20-105 / USD 25-119 / DKK 170-570 / NOK/SEK 195 – 690.
- At the airport, less than 22 hours before departure – EUR 55-105 / USD 65-119 / DKK 450-830 / NOK/SEK 540 – 990.
- Overweight checked bag – at the airport:
- 23.1-28 kg (51-62 lbs) – EUR 35-55 / USD 40-65 / DKK 250-400 / NOK/SEK 350 – 550.
- 28.1-32 kg (62-71 lbs) – EUR 60-110 / USD 70-130 / DKK 440-800 / NOK/SEK 600 – 1100.

If you need to register special baggage less than 24 hours before flight departure, you should contact Customer Service.
For safety reasons, each piece of baggage cannot weigh more than 32 kg. If the baggage exceeds 32 kg per piece, it should be repacked or sent as cargo.
