Northern Asia becomes more accessible with Star Alliance

Star Alliance, of which SAS Scandinavian Airlines is a founding member, has this month launched the new Circle North Asia Fare. For customers travelling with Scandinavian Airlines to Beijing or Tokyo, the new offering provides an easier travel solution when travelling across Northern Asia.
