We have some great news if you want to visit Greece later this year. There’s an excellent flight deal to Athens for under $1,000 round-trip — and it’s in premium economy!

Let’s take a look at this fantastic deal.

Fare Deal — Details

Image Credit: Google Flights

This deal is operated on Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)‘ premium economy product between New York (JFK) and Athens (ATH). All flights will include a layover in a Scandinavian city, such as Copenhagen (CPH).

You can play around with dates on Google Flights and book directly through SAS. Make sure to select “SAS Plus Smart” for the premium economy option if you’re booking through Google Flights.

  • Class: Premium economy
  • Routes: New York (JFK) to Athens (ATH)
  • Dates: October 2023 to March 2024
  • Rates: As low as $818 round-trip (when booked through Google Flights)
Bottom Line:

If you decide to book this flight (or any other SAS flight), remember that the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. However, the airline says it will continue to operate as normally as possible.

Best Ways to Book

You should be able to find availability between the fall of 2023 and the spring of 2024, with the best months to find the cheapest tickets being January and February 2024.

After you’ve picked dates, you’ll want to book your flight using a credit card that rewards you for travel purchases. Here are a few of our favorites:

Final Thoughts

While air travel has been in the news lately due to high prices, this deal shows that cheap flights are out there as long as you’re willing to look. If you’re interested in visiting Athens or checking out SAS’s premium economy, make sure to book before it’s too late!
