SAS Drops “Go” And “Plus” In Favor Of Traditional Cabin Names

For years, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has had unique names for its fare classes and onboard cabins, but with the return of business class on intra-European flights this autumn, SAS is reverting to more standard terms for its three classes of service.

SAS Overhauls Fare Classes To Align With Competitors

On October 1, 2025, SAS will reintroduce business class on flights within Europe. On that date, travel classes and ticket types will also be renamed. SAS Go, SAS Plus, and SAS Business will be replaced by Economy, Premium, and Business, respectively.

Currently, SAS Go represents economy class and within “Go” class there are Light, Smart, and Pro fares (equating to basic economy, economy, and full-fare economy). SAS Plus represents the carrier’s short-haul premium product (like business class, but with no blocked middle seats) and its longhaul premium economy class. Within Plus, there are Smart and Pro fares. Finally, SAS Business represents only the carrier’s longhaul flight with flat bed seating.

With the return of European business class, SAS will offer a more simplified fare structure that better aligns with competitors and its key partners, including Air France and KLM. Here’s what to expect:

  • Economy Class
    • Light
      • 1 underseat bag
      • 1 carry-on (8 kg) on flights outside Europe
      • Meals & drinks on flights outside Europe
      • Rebookable for a fee
      • Non-refundable
    • Standard
      • 1 underseat bag
      • 1 carry-on (8 kg)
      • 1 checked bag  (23 kg)
      • Meals & drinks on flights outside Europe
      • Rebookable for a fee
      • Non-refundable
    • Flex
      • All the benefits of Standard, with fast track (where available) and added flexibility:
        • Rebookable
        • Refundable
        • You can change to an earlier or later departure on flights within Europe (if available) on the day of travel when you check in using the SAS app
  • Premium Class
    • Premium
      • 1 underseat bag
      • 1 carry-on (8 kg)
      • 2 carry-on bags (8 kg each) on flights outside Europe
      • 2 checked bag (23 kg each)
      • Fast track (where available)
      • Lounge access (on flights within Europe, where available)
      • Priority boarding
      • Better seating
      • Meals & drinks
      • Rebookable for a fee
      • Non-refundable
    • Premium Flex
      • All the benefits of Premium, with added flexibility:
        • Rebookable
        • Refundable
        • You can change to an earlier or later departure on flights within Europe (if available) on the day of travel when you check in using the SAS app.
  • Business Class
    • Business
      • 1 underseat bag
      • 1 carry-on (8 kg)
      • 2 carry-on bags on flights outside Europe
      • 2 checked bags (32 kg each)
      • Meals & drinks
      • Middle seat empty on flights within Europe
      • Full flat bed seat on flights outside Europe
      • Fast track (where available)
      • Lounge access (where available)
      • Priority boarding
      • Free wifi on flights outside Europe
      • Rebookable for a fee
      • Non-refundable
    • Business Flex
      • All the benefits of Business, with added flexibility:
        • Rebookable
        • Refundable
        • You can change to an earlier or later departure on flights within Europe (if available) on the day of travel when you check in using the SAS app

Tickets on sale now for travel on October 1, 2025 or later already reflect these new fares class designations. The only notable change I notice is that intra-Europe business class passengers will have lounge access beyond SAS lounges and SAS premium passengers will now have the ability to check two bags on a complimentary basis (currently, only full-fare Plus Pro passengers can check two bags). It’s nice to see that premium passengers will still receive meals and even lounge access on flights within Europe.

CONCLUSION

SAS is adjusting the names of its fare classes and some benefits to better align with its partners, effective October 1, 2025. The new fare classes are for sale now for flights after that date. While I always like the “Go” and “Plus” designations, this certainly makes things clearer for those who might not be used to the SAS nomenclature.

    So it looks like they’ve kept premium economy within Europe and may technically be the only airline that offers it. Be interesting to see the pricing for it, it might create some opportunities for achieving Skyteam status without breaking the bank.

      And I find the product quite nice, with delicious fresh meals…throw in lounge access and it really is a selling point for SAS if the price is right.

    Wi=fi has been free in SAS Plus in Europe, is it not being offered to short haul business class passengers? That seems strange, it’s on all their A20N fleet.
