SAS Adds Stockholm to Iceland Route

SAS Adds Stockholm to Iceland Route: Midnight Sun, Hot Springs, and Questionable Life Choices Await

Pack your hiking boots and your sense of adventure—SAS is launching a new seasonal route from Stockholm to Keflavik, running June 22 – August 11, 2025. That means even more chances to chase waterfalls, climb glaciers, and realise too late that you should have packed an extra sweater.

Need assistance with groups and incentives in Iceland? Contact us!

If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing Iceland’s midnight sun, this is your golden (literally) opportunity. With overnight flights, you can maximise your time on the ground, perfect for a long weekend of volcano-spotting, hot spring soaking, and pretending you understand Icelandic place names.

Why This Route Is a Big Deal
  • More Iceland for Everyone! SAS already flies to Keflavik from Copenhagen and Oslo, but now Stockholmers (and their Baltic and Finnish neighbors) can get in on the action too.
  • No Time Wasted! The overnight schedule means you’ll land bright-eyed and ready to explore… or at least ready for a strong Icelandic coffee.
  • Endless Daylight! Forget about setting an alarm—the sun won’t let you. You can hike at 2 AM, explore geysers at 4 AM, or just lay in bed wondering why you didn’t bring an eye mask.

SAS VP Henrik Winell sums it up nicely: “We are pleased that our travellers can take full advantage of Iceland’s extended daylight hours while also benefiting from our convenient schedule.” In other words: Fly in, stay up forever, and see everything.

SAS Adds Stockholm to Iceland Route

So, whether you’re after Northern nature, Reykjavik’s buzzing nightlife, or just an excuse to wear your best wool sweater in July, this new route has you covered. Just remember—Iceland’s beauty is free, but its beers are not, so budget accordingly.

ANA Launches Stockholm Tokyo Route

ANA Launches Stockholm Tokyo Route

Pack your passports and prep your taste buds—Sweden and Japan are now closer than ever, and not just in spirit. All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s biggest airline and a champion of impeccable in-flight service (seriously, have you seen their bento boxes?), has just launched a direct route between Stockholm Arlanda and Tokyo Haneda.

Starting January 31, 2025, this new flight will run three times a week, making it easier than ever for Swedes to swap fika for sushi and for Japanese travellers to embrace the wonders of ABBA, IKEA, and meatballs drowning in lingonberry sauce.

Need assistance with groups and incentives in Sweden? Contact us!

A Business and Tourism Game Changer

Japan isn’t only famous for its anime, cherry blossoms, and advanced toilets, it happens to be Sweden’s second largest trading partner in Asia. This infers that the new journey is not solely centered around magnificent vacations (though lets face it, that is a huge bonus). It is also a huge victory for enterprises, promoting trade and enabling corporate handshakes at altitude of 35,000 feet.

Stockholm Gets a Boost as a Global Hub

ANA’s expansion isn’t stopping here. With Stockholm now officially on the map, ANA is solidifying the city’s role as a major European hub. And in case that wasn’t enough, the airline is also rolling out a new Istanbul service in February 2025, because apparently, they’re on a mission to connect the world, one flight at a time.

So, What’s Next?

If you’ve ever dreamed of cherry blossoms in Tokyo or ramen-fueled adventures in Shinjuku, your moment has arrived. Likewise, if Japan is calling Swedes for business, design inspiration, or simply an excuse to buy a suitcase full of quirky vending machine snacks—ANA’s got you covered.

ANA Launches Stockholm Tokyo Route

Strap in, Stockholm. Your non-stop ticket to Tokyo is here!

Visa free Travel to China

Visa free Travel to China - 

China’s new visa-free policy throws open its doors to tourists from 195 countries, making it possible for visitors to come see this fascinating country. Making travel to China easier than ever before! The main purpose of the initiative is to greatly stimulate the tourism industry in China. The rich culture, stunning landscapes and vibrant cities of China are now accessible to visitors who will not be required to obtain visas.

The most fascinating aspect of such policy involves cruise ship travellers. For group tours that arrive in China on a cruise liner, you can enter the country without a visa for up to a fortnight. Thirteen coastal cities fit into this category including popular destinations like Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian and Xiamen. Picture cruising into Shanghai and spending your days roaming busy streets with historic sites along beautiful waterfronts without having any immigration papers hassle!

Besides these cities, this visa-free entry will enable tourists to also visit their respective provinces directly under central government administration along the coast as well the capital city Beijing .You can see how great the Great Wall is ,walk around in the Forbidden City ,or feel the charm in different parts of China.

In addition to this, seven more cruise ports have been included in China’s expanded visa free transit policy that now covers: Dalian ,Lianyungan,Wenzhou,Zhoushan ,Guangzhou Shenzhen Beihai.Thus simplifying transit procedures for foreign guests sailing by sea.

However despite all these fabulous new policies, attracting international tourists has proven an uphill task for Chinese authorities recently. Nevertheless ASEAN/Schengen/Gulf countries are targeted by such bold moves made by Chinese leaders; it includes Thailand,Singapore,Malaysia and many European countries such as France ,Italy Spain or Germany.

Moreover apart from maritime routes china also focuses on airport-air connectivity improvement and expansion of high-speed rail lines to ASEAN countries and Europe meaning you’ll get smooth and fast travel options within China and beyond to improve your overall travel experience.

Elizabeth Axtelius from Swedavia seems pretty excited about this development. She says that for Norwegian this demonstrates a desire among people to keep traveling overseas. New ways of travel are coming up for anyone planning on business trips, leisure or visiting families and friends in Sweden.

Magnus Thome Maursund who is the commercial director Norwegian himself thinks so too. He believes these sunny locations will give travelers an option from the cold weather during winter holidays.

Swedavia’s Green Goals

Although managing ten airports, Swedavia achieved zero fossil CO2 emissions from own operations by the end of 2020. They are working towards an objective that would require all fuel at Swedish airports include sustainable aviation fuels by 2025.

 They’ve even won awards for their eco-efforts, with Stockholm Arlanda named Eco-Innovation Airport of the Year in 2021. And if you’re flying out of a Swedavia airport, you can buy sustainable fuel for your journey through flygreenfund.se/swedavia.
