Want to visit the North Pole this holiday season? SAS Scandinavian Airlines can get you closer to Santa's reindeer with the carrier's latest fare sale to destinations all across Scandinavia. Tickets to the airline's hubs in Copenhagen (CPH), Stockholm (ARN), and Oslo (OSL) and beyond are on sale starting at only $378 roundtrip.
Travel Availability
Flights on most routes are available from late August through the end of the airline's booking calendar in March 2020. So if you prefer not to brave the cold, flights in late summer (August & September) should be available on most itineraries. Departure days will vary by city pair as SAS doesn't operate every route on a daily basis. Itineraries from Boston are only available through November, most departures from Miami are for late November onward.
SAS has a nifty Low Fare Calendar Tool on its website that's super easy to use and displays which days the discount deals are valid for.
Sale Period
Tickets at the listed sale prices must be purchased by Sunday, May 19, 2019.

Seat Assignments
You may choose your own assignments from standard economy class seats that are still available during or after booking.

Other Available Destinations
The majority of the above fares are for SAS nonstop routes departing U.S. airports. Other destinations in Scandinavia like Helsinki (HEL), Bergen (BGO), Aarhus (AAR), and Gothenburg (GOT) are included in this sale but will require at least one connection.
Flights to other destinations throughout Europe are also on sale by SAS, but you will find lower fares to those airports on competing airlines.
Example Booking
Searching SAS's site, I found flights departing Los Angeles LAX on Wednesday, November 20 and returning from Copenhagen CPH on Saturday, November 30, 2019.
