SAS Date Change Policy & Rules
Eligibility: The ability to change your flight date depends entirely on the fare rules of your specific ticket. Flexible fares (e.g., SAS Plus, SAS Go Smart) typically allow changes, often without a change fee but with a potential fare difference. More restrictive fares (e.g., SAS Go) may have change fees plus fare differences.
