Prepare for a comfortable boarding experience with SAS Airlines. Continue reading to find out all the essential details about carry-on luggage when flying with Scandinavian Airlines. This comprehensive guide outlines SAS Airlines’ carry-on size requirements, ensuring you're ready before your flight and helping you avoid extra fees.

What is SAS Airlines' Carry-On Policy?

All passengers on SAS Airlines are permitted to travel with a carry-on. However, the carry-on allowance varies based on your destination and ticket type. For SAS GO Light flights within Europe and Turkey, an additional fee applies for a single carry-on, whereas the same fare does not incur charges for carry-ons when traveling within Canada, Asia, and the US.

Conversely, if you opt for SAS Plus, SAS Business, or SAS Go Pro and Bonus tickets for flights to the US, Canada, and Asia, you're allowed to bring 2 carry-ons. Furthermore, all these ticket types permit one under-seat bag as well.

What are the size and weight restrictions for SAS Carry-On?

Your carry-on bag must not exceed 55 x 40 x 23 cm (22 x 16 x 9 inches) to fit in the overhead bin above your seat. This measurement includes any handles, pockets, and wheels. If you're unsure about your bag's size, you can check its dimensions at the size monitors located at the airline’s ticketing counters and departure gates.

What is SAS's policy regarding carry-on liquids?

SAS permits passengers to carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers up to 100ml (3.4 ounces) on flights. These containers must be placed in a clear, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one quart. Each traveler is allowed only one bag, which must be presented separately for inspection at security.

What additional items can you bring on board?

It's important to confirm any special baggage needs before your flight. If you’re traveling with an infant, you can bring a diaper bag, a child car seat, and a stroller weighing up to 23kg at no extra charge. If you're unsure whether your item meets these criteria, consider using Dinogo’s Bag Measurement tool for assistance.

For an extra charge, owners of small cats and dogs may bring their pet on board as a carry-on. The pet must be in a small carrier that fits under the seat in front of you, which will count as your one carry-on item.

Additionally, you may carry duty-free bags and any purchases made at the airport alongside your cabin baggage.
