SAS is giving each passenger travelling with SAS to Stockholm's Arlanda Airport from the UK a complimentary Stockholm City Card this March and April.

According to the airline, The Stockholm Card, worth £30, gives holiday makers: Free airport transfers (typically costing upwards of £40); Free unlimited travel on Greater Stockholm's public transport; Free entry to more than 75 museums and attractions; Priority access and discounts to shows etc.

The Stockholm City Card is valid for 24 hours.

SAS GM United Kingdom & Ireland, Lars-Ove Filipson said: "Unlike the low cost carriers, SAS offers a completely transparent booking system, with no hidden charges for baggage and credit cards. Onerous 'stealth fees' such as paying to sit together on a flight as a family is simply not party of what we do, our aim is to make travelling pleasurable and value for money."

The airline highlighted that the pound enjoys a far more favourable exchange rate against the Swedish krona than the Euro, remaining steady at around 12 SEK to the pound for the last six months. "This compares to an astonishing 35 percent drop against the Euro, meaning that Sweden offers excellent value for British travellers abroad," SAS stated.
