SAS launches free downloadable stopover guides
SAS Australia today launched a series of free, downloadable stopover guides for Bangkok, Beijing, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Tokyo, with the guides available for free on Scandinavian Airlines’ website www.flysas.com.au
SAS’ stopover guides provide Australian travellers with all the highlights of these five cities in one, two or three day itineraries, depending on the length of their stopover, with SAS having carefully created the itineraries to ensure passengers see the major highlights and some secret spots, enjoying a mini-holiday on the way to their final destination in Europe.
Irmgard Goetjes-Pedersen, Acting General Manager, SAS Australia and New Zealand, said, “As far as we know, SAS Australia is first airline in the world to launch such a concept as free, downloadable stopover guides,” adding, “Australians flying SAS to Europe can choose between four Asian and two Scandinavian gateways, and these guides are great tools to get out of the airport and enjoy an extra experience along your journey.”
She also said, “With SAS you can experience up to five destinations on one return ticket to Europe.”
Besides the must-see attractions in each city, the SAS stopover guides make sure you get to see another side of the city as well, for example in Bangkok, they take you to the best palaces, but also throw in a Thai cooking school and a restaurant where you will eat lying down.
In Beijing, theyguide you underground to the little-known Underground City Mao Zedong had built fearing a nuclear war, and let you explore the Military Museum.
In Copenhagen, they make sure you walk down the aisle where Princess Mary got married, see the changing of guards at Amalienborg Palace, experience a hippie utopia and visit what is probably the best beer brewery in the world, the Carlsberg Brewery.
In Stockholm, they take you out into Stockholm’s stunning archipelago, let you sample a Nobel Prize menu and visit the Royal Coin Cabinet, which exhibits the world’s first bank note and the oldest coin (both Swedish).
In Tokyo, their itineraries feature the best of the old Tokyo (Imperial Palace and Asakusa) and futuristic Tokyo (Shinjuku and Ginza), as well as highlights such as the beautiful Ueno Park and a river cruise.
