SAS Economy Extra Service named World's Best

Scandinavian Airlines' long haul premium economy offering, Economy Extra, has just been named the world's best in a new survey by Global Traveller. SAS was placed first in the category 'Best Airline for Premium Economy'.

SAS' Economy Extra class offers passengers a number of business class benefits and extras, at much lower prices, to make their journey as enjoyable as possible. These include a baggage allowance of two 23kg check in bags and two 8kg carrying-on bags.

Once passengers have checked in at the business class desks, have gone through the fast-track security and availed of priority boarding, they can relax in their seats which have extra width and leg-room, and watch on-demand videos on their personal TV screen. Economy Extra class seats are located in their own secluded cabin with a spacious and peaceful environment.

Passengers can enjoy a personal laptop power outlet, as well as a cocktail, snacks, a three-course meal and free beverages, and an extra light meal just before landing.

For passengers flying out of Dublin who wish to enjoy this service, SAS offer three Economy Extra connections from Dublin Airport. SAS fly from Dublin to Chicago, Tokyo and Bangkok from €1,595 return for Economy Extra class, including all taxes and charges. There is free online check-in, and a 25 percent child discount.
