Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to promote too many great offers for trips departing from one of the Baltic countries. But now SAS is selling cheap tickets for flights from Tallinn, Estonia to New York. Prices start at 261€, and this fare already includes one piece of checked luggage.
From Tallinn, you will first travel to one of SAS’s hubs, mostly Stockholm or Oslo, before continuing to the United States. SAS will operate an Airbus A330 in the long-haul routes.
Search & Book
The flight routes do not restrict the sales period for this deal. So there is no way of telling how long the offer will be available. The offer is valid for flights departing from Tallinn between:
- August 25th, 2019 and June 19th, 2020
Also, outbound flights are limited to Sundays through Wednesdays, inbound flights to Tuesdays through Saturdays. Availability seems to be great at the moment!
You have to stay for at least 6 days or until the first Sunday after your arrival. The fare rules do not state any maximum stay requirements. Although, most travelers, will be restricted due to US visa regulations.
Use Google Flights (instructions) to find the dates that suit you best. You can book your fights directly on SAS’ website or use Skyscanner, to compare and find the best fares.
Mileage
Typically, flights that can be booked at such a low price are not suitable for a mileage run. Same goes for this deal. But the tickets will be issued in booking class L or T. And both of them can get you an earning rate of 100% with, e.g. Aegean Miles+Bonus.
