SAS check-in

SAS offers a choice of ways to check-in – your mobile phone or tablet, online, airport check-in machines, or at the check-in desk at the airport.

In the event you are travelling with pets, or if there are particular on-board services which you need, make sure to check in at the airline check-in counter in the airport of departure.

SAS online check-in

Online check-in is available from 22 hours prior to scheduled departure and allows passengers to choose a seat and print their boarding pass or receive it on their mobile phone (make sure of the possibility of mobile check-in in the airport).

SAS Airlines: Check-in with mobile

From 22 hours before departure, you can check in, book your seat, and get your boarding pass via your mobile phone. Remember to check the possibility of mobile check-in in the departure airport.

If you have problems with your mobile boarding pass, you can go to the airline check-in counter or a check-in machine (if available) for a standard paper one. This also applies in the event you experience any difficulties with your phone, or if you delete your boarding pass by accident.

SAS flight check-in machines

These are the stand-alone computer screens for use in airports for checking yourself in. Make sure check-in machines are accessible in your airport of departure ahead of your flight. With most types of check-in machines, you are able to check in using your passport, or by typing your last name and the flight booking reference (found in your booking confirmation).

SAS check-in time: Deadlines

The point of check-in deadlines is to guarantee flights take off according to schedule. Ahead of the deadline you should have your boarding pass, whichever way you checked in – in person, online, by using your mobile phone, or if you were automatically checked in – and baggage must also have been checked in.

SAS baggage problems

Baggage getting damaged or failing to arrive at the destination can be due to several issues. The baggage handling area experiencing technical difficulties, poor weather, or the baggage tag detaching, can all cause a variety of concerns with your baggage.

SAS delayed baggage / damaged baggage

A statement needs to be made immediately to the SAS baggage tracing desk or service counter when your baggage is damaged or has not arrived at the destination airport. Remember to keep hold of every flight document, in particular your baggage claim tag and boarding pass.

Written confirmation is always essential, and also a reference number of your claim. Until receiving your baggage, or your claim is settled, it is essential to keep these documents.

An alternative option to claim for problems with baggage is to process the claim with the services of MYFLYRIGHT, more details can be found here.
