Over the past couple of days, there have been reports of some pretty amazing fares from Los Angeles to Stockholm Sweden on Star Alliance carrier SAS.

• Frequent Miler – LAX to Stockholm for $97 One-Way or $219 Roundtrip (Select Dates in March)
• One Mile at a Time – Hot Deal: One-way Los Angeles To Stockholm For $99 On SAS
• Miles to Memories – Cheaper Now! LAX to Stockholm for $48 OW or $359 RT
• Mommy Points – Fly LAX to Sweden for Spring Break for $88!

This is an 11 hour flight, and that makes a pretty good deal.  While originally I was thinking this was a mistake fare, I’ve seen some reports that this is actually an intentionally published fare to promote their new service between Los Angeles and Stockholm.

While the $48 deals are apparently gone, there are still dates available for $88 between Los Angeles and Sweden in March and April

If you want a roundtrip, I saw it as low as $400.  Or you could use miles to come back – as long as you book before March 22nd, it’s still off-peak season to Europe, so it would only require 20,000 American miles.

If $88 is still too much for you to pay to go to Sweden, you can get 2 roundtrip tickets for free (if you buy a Volvo) – SEE: How to get a free trip to Sweden
