Star Alliance member, SAS has been offering a youth fare for a while now, letting youngsters travel from cheaper fares. While there are some interesting discounts (such as to Spitsbergen), usually these fares aren’t something we would report on. However, economy fares from Northern Europe to Tokyo starting at just €297 (~NOK 3,476) is something that definitely catches an eye – even if it’s only available to people under 26 years.
These fares are available in the first half of June. While the fare only includes a carry-on bag, you can select the Go Fare for just €50 – €60 more return. That includes a 23-kg checked bag.
You can fly from the following cities:
- Oslo, Norway at €297 (~NOK 3,476)
- Bergen, Norway at €297 (~NOK 3,476)
- Stavanger, Norway at €297 (~NOK 3,476)
- Gothenburg, Sweden at €313 (~SEK 3,457)
- Stockholm, Sweden at €316 (~SEK 3,490)
- Trondheim, Norway at €331 (~NOK 3,874)
- Copenhagen, Denmark (nonstop) at €407 (~DKK 3,038)
- Helsinki, Finland at €414
- and more.. (especially from Norway)
To book these fares, we recommend using the links above. Then you can open the calendar view by clicking ‘Edit Search’ and then clicking on the departure date and checking the ‘Lowest fare’ checkbox.
Between your origin city and Copenhagen, you would fly SAS’s wide selection of narrowbody or regional planes. The Airbus A320 family aircraft and the Boeing 737 have a 3-3 configuration, while the CRJs, ATRs and their Embraers have a 2-2 configuration. In Copenhagen, you would board an Airbus A350 that has a 3-3-3 configuration.

Information & Tips for Japan
Japan offers a blend of modern cities and natural beauty, with highlights including Tokyo’s bustling urban landscape, Kyoto’s historic temples, Mount Fuji, and the hot springs of Hakone. The currency is the Japanese yen (JPY), and credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, though cash is still common in rural regions. Japan can be pricey, especially in cities, with high costs for accommodation and dining, but budget options are available. The weather varies by region: summers are hot and humid, while winters can be cold, particularly in the north. The best time to visit is typically during spring (for cherry blossoms) or autumn (for fall foliage).
Japan’s transport infrastructure is highly efficient and easy to navigate. In cities like Tokyo and Osaka, the metro and train systems are extensive, punctual, and relatively easy to use, though they can get crowded during peak hours. Buses and taxis are also available, but less convenient for tourists. For intercity travel, Japan’s Shinkansen (bullet trains) are fast, comfortable, and reliable, though more expensive than other options. Buses and domestic flights are also available for longer distances, but trains remain the preferred choice for many travellers due to speed and convenience.
