SAS Launches Hong Kong Flights

Scandinavian Airlines has launched flights to Hong Kong and reopened its lounge at Arlanda following an extensive refurbishment.

Hong Kong is one of the world’s busiest airports and is the largest in the world in terms of freight. The route has five departures per week from Stockholm and provides convenient connections to cities in Scandinavia and other major European hubs.

“We are writing a new chapter in the history of SAS ... We are very proud to be linking Stockholm and the rest of Scandinavia with Hong Kong through a convenient new connection. We look forward to offering a warm welcome on board to all our customers,” said Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO of SAS.

Flights will depart Arlanda on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays on SK963 at 15:00, arriving in Hong Kong at 07:20 local time.

Flights from Hong Kong will depart on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays on SK964 at 09:05 local time, arriving at Arlanda at 14:35.

The new route is SAS’s fourth direct connection between Scandinavia and Asia

The revamped lounge in Terminal 5 has two separate sections – one for EuroBonus Diamond and Gold members, including Star Alliance Gold, and one for those traveling in Business or SAS Plus.

The lounge, which now covers an area of 1,400 m2, now offers a larger buffet area, new combined meeting rooms/guest offices, travel services, a new relaxation area, workstations, toilets and showers, as well as a play area for younger travelers.
