Tips for a smooth trip to Bordeaux
Plan ahead and be on time
Check your departure details before heading to the airport. With SAS, online check-in is available up to 30 hours before departure. Arriving earlier than necessary ensures a stress-free start, especially during peak travel times like holidays and summer, when airports are often busier than usual.
Pack smart
Check out the baggage rules and restrictions before you travel, to avoid surprises. Adding extra bags online is always more affordable than at the airport. Pack practically, keep essentials in your cabin bag, and check size and weight limits in advance to ensure a smoother journey through security.
Stay updated
Stay informed about any flight changes, including gates, by checking SAS Flight Status or using the SAS app. Keeping updated helps make your journey smoother and more predictable.
Autumn during the wine harvest is most popular, but spring is also excellent for sightseeing.
