SAS baggage allowance: read the entitlement attached to your fare

Its checked-baggage guidance gives a standard size total of 158 centimeters and a weight category that depends on the ticket and destination. Adding another bag and paying for a heavy or oversized bag are distinct purchases; the latter charges are paid at the airport under the published guidance. Open the reservation and record the allowance for each traveler and direction. Compare that entitlement with a packing list that shows the number of bags, their packed weights, and outside measurements. Do not infer that a checked bag is included simply because the booking is in Economy, or because another traveler on the same flight has one. Use the current baggage options for the reservation to assess any extra purchase. Keep the receipt and check that the new allowance is attached to the intended journey. For sports equipment, medical devices, or an unusually shaped item, open the relevant special-baggage rule instead of treating a standard-bag purchase as acceptance of that item.
