SAS 70 years campaign - Cheap longhaul flights from Copenhagen and Stockholm - Only this weekend

Nordic airline SAS is celebrating their 70 years in business by selling selected flights with historical prices. There are some cheap flights in Europe but the biggest discounts are in longhaul flights. There are amazingly cheap flights from Copenhagen and Stockholm to New York, Chicago, Miami, Peking and Tokyo.

Usually it's rather easy to find cheap flights from many cities to either Copenhagen and Stockholm so this campaign prices can be used by other Europeans as well. I just checked some prices from Copenhagen to Peking and found prices with 250€/two way and this price wasn't just one day. There were several day options available for this bargain price.

SAS and Blue1 survived financial crisis - at least for a while

Sweden based airline company SAS that owns lower fares subsidiary Blue1 seems to survive the financial crisis that almost lead to bankruptcy. SAS was ablo to negotiate cost savings with labour unions. These cost savings were condition of financing banks for further financing loss making SAS. Now thanks to cost savings agreements SAS is able to raise next loans needed for keeping operations running.

Trading of SAS stocks in Stockholm stopped - Waiting for major news - SAS in bankruptcy?

Scandinavian Airlines SAS operates also cheap flights under name Blue1. Trading of SAS stock has been stopped at the Stockholm Stock Exchange and we are waiting for major news from SAS. SAS has been in financial troubles so bankruptcy is also one alternative.

Modified 30.10.2012; 13.26: SAS announced that it will start major cost cuts and asset sales to avoid bankruptcy. It's negotiating about finance but new finance is conditional to the progress of cost savings and asset sales.
