Tips for a smooth trip to Budapest
Plan ahead and allow for some extra time
Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.
Pack smart
Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.
Stay up-to-date
Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.
