We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.Flights to Scandinavia are on sale with fares starting from just $314 round-trip on a variety of carriers. The cheapest flights depart from east coast hubs including New York (JFK), Newark (EWR) and Boston (BOS), with wide availability from late October through December 2017. For those based on the West Coast, low prices are available from Los Angeles (LAX) on Lufthansa and SAS. Since there are so many options available, we’d recommend using Google Flights to find your desired itinerary. Keep in mind that on carriers like Icelandair, you can take advantage of a free stopover in Iceland before continuing on to your final destination.Airline: Icelandair, Lufthansa, SASRoute: JFK/EWR/BOS/LAX to OSL/CPH/HEL/ARNCost: $314+ round-trip in economyDates: September — December 2017, January 2018Booking Link: Orbitz or ExpediaPay With: The Platinum Card from American Express (5x on airfare), Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi Prestige (3x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Preferred (2x on travel)Here are a few examples of what you can book:New York (JFK) to Oslo (OSL) for $314 round-trip:Boston (BOS) to Oslo (OSL) for $341 round-trip:Boston (BOS) to Stockholm (ARN) for $359 round-trip:Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
