Interline baggage agreements with SAS and DAT

Air Greenland has interline agreements for checking baggage through with SAS and DAT (Danish Air Transport) on the companies’ routes between Copenhagen and Aalborg, Aarhus and Billund, Sønderborg and Rønne.

Please inform the staff at check-in Greenland when you have a connecting flight with either SAS or DAT and show your itinerary.

The agreement means that when Air Greenland’s passengers fly to one of the mentioned domestic airports in Denmark with SAS or DAT, baggage can be checked through to the final destination. It is not necessary to pick up baggage at Copenhagen and check it in again. The agreement only applies to baggage. Passengers must still collect a new boarding card from SAS or DAT in the Transfer Centre upon arrival at Copenhagen.

In order to check baggage through, there must be a minimum of 45 minutes of transit time from Air Greenland’s actual arrival in Copenhagen and the connecting flight. This means that if you land on time, you can catch a connecting flight to Aalborg, Aarhus or Rønne.

We recommend everyone with connecting flights to take out Late Arrival Insurance.

Disclaimer: Neither Air Greenland nor SAS or DAT are under any obligation to forward baggage in connection with delays, missed flights or other irregularities.
