For the end of the winter season SAS Scandinavian Airlines brings us a last minute deal from Scandinavia to Bangkok in business class starting at just €841. This fare includes 2×32 kg checked luggage and all the business class perks. Departures are available in April.
These are some of the airports where you can take advantage of this deal:
- Oslo at €841 (~NOK 9,931)
- Bergen at €841 (~NOK 9,931)
- Kristiansand at €842 (~NOK 9,943)
- Stockholm at €875 (~SEK 10,246)
- Malmö at €899 (~SEK 10,527)
There are also affordable tickets available in economy class, e.g, from Kristiansand starting at €229, including 23 kg of luggage.
There are also reward tickets available in Business Class for 50,000 points + approximately €100, however availability is dying fast.
The direct flight from Copenhagen costs €1,332 (~DKK 9,936), while from Malmö it costs €899 (~DKK 6,706). The Malmö flight won’t be direct, but you will save €433 (~DKK 3,230) on your ticket.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to SAS with your selected flight dates.
All flights include a layover in Copenhagen. For the feeder flight, you will be seated in SAS Plus without a free middle seat.
The long haul flight will be on a SAS Airbus A350 with 1-2-1 configuration. In my opinion, the Vantage XL seats are among the best and most comfortable on the market.
If you’re looking for a more budget friendly way to get to Thailand, we have another deal from Oslo to Bangkok starting at €91:
Search & Book
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on SAS’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
This ticket is issued in booking class J. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal from Oslo:
- 11,376 Miles on TAP Miles&Go
- 10,051 Award Miles + 50 Tier Points on Virgin Atlantic Flying Club

SAS has announced that it will leave the Star Alliance to join SkyTeam. The date of the switch is unknown. Should your flight take place after the switch, you probably won’t be able to earn any miles at any Star Alliance program. You also might not be able to use your Star Alliance status benefits.
Destination
Information & Tips for Thailand
Thailand is an increasingly popular holiday destination for Europeans – both beach and party tourists get their money’s worth in the South Asian tropical state.
Whether Bangkok, Koh Samui or Phuket, Thailand offers multi-faceted cities and quiet beaches. Also, the country is always easy to reach from Europe. Especially to Bangkok, there is almost always at least a good deal!
Best Time to Visit
While hot summer temperatures prevail the whole year long in tropical Thailand, the best travel time is definitely the winter from November to February. Thanks to the northwest monsoon it doesn’t get warmer than 33 degrees. In summer the temperatures can quickly reach 40 degrees. The rainy season also starts in June and will last until October – high humidity is what you’ll have to prepare for!
Entry & Visa
Most EU citizens do not need a visa for stays up to a length of 30 days. The entry permit can be extended by another 30 days before expiration by local immigration authorities.
Currency
The national currency of Thailand is the Baht (THB) which is divided into Satang. One Euro is about 40 THB.
