Scandinavian Airlines has opened one of the better transatlantic sales of the autumn: return flights from a long list of European cities to the United States from €284, with availability spread right across the winter.

What makes this one worth a look is that it is a full-service ticket rather than a stripped-back low-cost fare. A cabin bag is included, and the price sits well under the €400–500 that a winter transatlantic return normally costs from this part of Europe. The Baltic and Polish departures are the cheapest entry points, and New York is the cheapest destination across the board.

What you get at this price

  • A return ticket with SAS
  • One cabin bag plus one personal item
  • Connections through Stockholm, with Oslo used on some inbound legs
  • Seat selection and checked baggage are not included — this is the airline’s lightest fare, so add a hold bag during booking if you need one

That last point is the one to watch. If you are travelling for two weeks and need a suitcase, add the cost of a checked bag in both directions before comparing this against a fare that already includes one.

When you can fly

Availability runs from November 2026 through March 2027, with the New Year period excluded. The widest choice of dates is on the New York and Chicago routes; the West Coast and Atlanta routes cluster around a handful of specific weeks.

These are low-season dates, and that is precisely why the price works. It is worth being straight about what that means: New York and Chicago will be cold, and the daylight is short. Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco, on the other hand, are at their most pleasant in exactly these months — dry, mild and without the summer crowds. If your dates are flexible, the southern and Californian routes are the better weather-for-money trade.

Where the real value is

A few patterns stand out once you line all sixty-four routes up together:

  • New York is the cheapest destination, and Tallinn – New York at €284 is the single lowest fare in the sale.
  • The Baltics and Poland are the cheapest departure points. Tallinn, Vilnius, Riga, Krakow, Poznan, Gdansk and Wroclaw all sit at the bottom of their destination tables.
  • The West Coast costs roughly €50–60 more than the East Coast, which is a modest premium for a far longer flight — and January to March is the best time of year to be in California.
  • Krakow – Los Angeles at €315 is the outlier worth a second look: it is the cheapest West Coast fare in the sale by more than €30.

How to get the lowest price

  • Be flexible by a few days. Moving your departure two or three days is usually worth more than any other single change you can make.
  • Check the connection. These fares route through Scandinavia. A short layover is efficient, but on a winter schedule a slightly longer one is safer.
  • Compare nearby airports. From Poland in particular, Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Poznan and Wroclaw are all in the sale, and the gap between them runs to €15 or more on the same route.
  • Book sooner rather than later. Sale fares are capacity-controlled, so the cheapest buckets sell out first — the price ranges in the table above already reflect how much they move.

Before you book

If you hold an EU, UK or other visa-waiver passport, you need an approved ESTA before you travel to the United States. Apply through the official US government site at esta.cbp.dhs.gov — plenty of reseller sites charge a heavy markup for exactly the same application. Approval is usually quick, but it is not something to leave until the airport.

FAQ

Is €284 really the return price?

Yes — every fare in this sale is round-trip rather than one-way. €284 is the Tallinn to New York fare specifically; each route has its own price, and the table above lists all sixty-four.

Is checked baggage included?

No. The sale fare covers one cabin bag and one personal item only. A checked bag can be added during booking, and it is worth pricing that in before you compare this deal against fares that already include hold luggage.

Are these direct flights?

No. The itineraries connect through Stockholm, with Oslo used on some return legs. That is normal for this kind of fare from Central and Eastern Europe, and it is part of the reason the price is as low as it is.

Can I fly over Christmas or New Year?

Early and mid-December is available on several routes, and there is a 19 to 26 December option from Poznan to Atlanta. The New Year period itself is excluded from the sale.

How long will this sale last?

Sale fares are limited by seat availability rather than by a published deadline, so the cheapest prices usually disappear well before a promotion formally ends. If a route works for your dates, book it.

What if the link shows a higher price?

That happens often, because prices move constantly and the example dates are only a starting point. Try nearby days inside the November to March window before you give up on a route — the price ranges in the table show how much each fare typically swings.
