Frequently asked questions

1."Is it SAS that checks the Covid-19 test results and/or travel certificate and afterwards decides if I can get on the plane?"

Answer: This is difficult to answer directly as it depends on the destination you are flying to. Some countries require the airline to check this prior to departure, in other countries it is checked only upon arrival to the destination and some require both on departure and on arrival.

2. "I don't have a test because my final destination says I don't need it. However, I’m not flying directly, can I still go through my transit?"

Answer: Most often you can go through transit and a confirmed Covid-19 test is not needed when in transit. However, there are exceptions such as when travelling through China, Denmark and some other countries. Please make sure to check what requirements are needed for your trip before travelling.

3. "I've been denied boarding, what happens now?"

Answer: The passenger is always responsible for finding out what requirements apply to documents (passport, visa, etc.). You are also responsible for adhering to what entry requirements apply to vaccinations and, which also includes the requirements that apply due to Covid-19. If a customer is denied boarding due to the absence of entry documents, the customer may rebook according to the ticketing rules. If the ticket is not re-bookable, the customer is responsible for purchasing new tickets. The same rules apply if the customer is denied entry to a country i.e ticket rules apply. Please find more information on these regulations in the Conditions of Carriage, in particular in Chapter 15.
