Online Check-in
Online Check-in with SAS is available from 30 hours to 1 hour before departure on the website or via the SAS app. When you register your mobile number at the time of booking, you will receive a text message offering you to check in online 30 hours before departure. Just click on the link included in the text message to proceed to Online Check-in. For SAS flights operated by Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, and SWISS, you can check in on the operating airline’s website.
Passengers need their booking reference or frequent flyer number. Up to six people can check in at a time. If there are more than six passengers in the group, you must enter the booking reference again and check in the remaining passengers. With SAS Online Check-in service, passengers can choose a seat before departure free of charge. SAS Go Light ticket holders will be allocated a seat at check-in, and this seat can’t be changed. The Online Check-in service allows you to pay for extra baggage.
At the end of Online Check-in, you can download a digital boarding pass on your phone or print a paper boarding pass. If you have checked baggage, you can print the bag tags at a Self-Service Check-in kiosk and drop the bags at the Self-Service Bag drop.
Self-Service Kiosk Check-in
Unaccompanied children, as well as passengers traveling with pets or special baggage, including wheelchairs, cannot check in using a self-service kiosk.
Self-Service Kiosk Check-in is available for flights:
- Within Scandinavia and Finland.
- To Europe and the rest of the world from Scandinavia.
- To Scandinavia from some destinations.
If passengers have baggage to check in, they can use a self-service kiosk at the airport to print out bag tags and then attach them to the bags before leaving them at the bag drop. In case of extra baggage, they can pay for it when checking in online, at a SAS Self Service Kiosk, where available, or at the bag drop.
Boarding
Passengers should be at the gate at least 20 minutes before the departure time for flights within Europe, and for travel to/from outside Europe, the deadline is 35 minutes.
