Los Angeles
from €271 return
About this deal
A very strong SAS fare from Stockholm to Los Angeles with one easy connection in Copenhagen.
The headline fare starts at €271 / 3,060 SEK return through Mytrip via Skyscanner Sweden.
If you prefer to book directly with SAS, the same reference itinerary was showing at around
€305 / 3,435 SEK in the SAS Light fare. For travellers who want a checked bag,
SAS Standard was 4,235 SEK, about €375 return, including a personal item, an
8kg cabin bag, a 23kg checked bag, plus meals and drinks.
I have used 18–26 November 2026 as the reference schedule because the connection times are much more comfortable:
1h10 outbound and 1h35 return. No ridiculous airport marathon between gates, while still keeping the journey efficient.
Prepared dates are available in November 2026 and again in February / March 2027.
Airline: SAS

Reference flight schedule
SAS throughout
Stockholm 12:00 → Copenhagen 13:10 · SK1425
1h10 connection in CPH
Copenhagen 14:20 → Los Angeles 17:00 · SK931
This is exactly the sort of schedule I like: a civilised lunchtime departure and arrival in Los Angeles at 17:00, with enough time in Copenhagen that you should not have to sprint to the next gate.
SAS throughout
Los Angeles 19:30 → Copenhagen 15:25+1 · SK932
1h35 connection in CPH
Copenhagen 17:00 → Stockholm 18:15 · SK1408
The return is just as clean: an evening departure from Los Angeles, a sensible connection in Copenhagen and arrival back in Stockholm at 18:15 the following day.
Baggage + fare options
The price gets the attention, but the timings are what make this genuinely useful. The reference combination gives you only 1h10 outbound and 1h35 return in Copenhagen, without forcing you into a ridiculous early departure or an overnight airport wait.
Check the fare family before payment. The €271 headline fare is the lightest option. If you need a checked suitcase, compare the final price carefully: SAS Standard was 4,235 SEK / about €375 return with 23kg checked baggage included.

Check live fare →Only around €34 more than the cheapest OTA fare. Select Scandinavian Airlines from the Skyscanner seller list if you prefer to keep the airline as your point of contact.
Find SAS in seller list →This is the option I would show anyone who needs a suitcase: 1 personal item + 1 × 8kg cabin bag + 1 × 23kg checked bag, with meals and drinks included. It costs about €104 more than the cheapest Mytrip fare, but it gives you the baggage most people actually want for a California trip.

Excellent fare, almost flawless schedule. €271 return to Los Angeles is exceptional, and the reference itinerary has genuinely useful timings with comfortable Copenhagen connections. The headline fare is light on baggage, but SAS gives you a clear direct-booking path and a 23kg checked-bag option for about €375 return.

Los Angeles hotel playbook
Los Angeles is huge, so for me the first decision is not the hotel brand — it is the area. For a first leisure trip I would normally start by comparing West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Downtown LA depending on what you actually want to do, then compare the final hotel price and let Karma check whether the same room appears for less elsewhere. With the longer flight dates on this deal, I would usually spend 4–5 nights in Los Angeles and use the remaining days for another part of Southern California.
In Los Angeles, a cheaper room can become expensive very quickly once parking, destination fees and long daily drives are added. Compare the location and final total, then keep Karma switched on while you search.
💰 Dino hotel booking method
Decide what you actually want to do each day, then choose the neighbourhood that keeps the biggest number of those journeys short.
Leave Karma active while browsing Booking.com so it can compare prices in the background.
If Karma finds nothing useful, do one final like-for-like comparison before paying.
⏳ How many nights in Los Angeles?
Fine for a focused stop, but you will need to choose one side of the city and accept that you cannot do everything.
Enough for the main sights, one beach day and some time in neighbourhoods beyond Hollywood.
A much better balance for beaches, museums, Hollywood, Downtown and enough breathing room for LA traffic.
Great if LA is the main destination, otherwise I would start adding San Diego, Palm Springs or another California stop.
📍 Best areas to stay in Los Angeles
My first search for a broad leisure trip: restaurants, nightlife and a useful position for Hollywood, Beverly Hills and central LA sights.
Best if the beach matters. Walkable by LA standards, pleasant in the evening and much better than commuting to the coast every day.
Useful for museums, events, rail connections and some excellent food, but it makes less sense if most of your plans are around the beaches.
Handy for LAX and the coast. A good first or last-night base if you want something calmer than staying directly beside the airport.
🚀 Where to go next — perfect for the longer dates
San Diego
One of the easiest add-ons: beaches, great food and a more compact city feel. Works well by train, car or a short flight.
Palm Springs
A completely different desert atmosphere, especially good if you want sunshine, pools and a slower couple of days.
Santa Barbara
Coastal California at a much gentler pace. Excellent for 1–2 nights if you want ocean views, food and a break from LA traffic.
Joshua Tree
Best with a car and an overnight stay. The desert scenery is the point, so I would not squeeze it into a rushed city day.
Malibu
Easy for a beach-and-coast day if traffic behaves. Combine it with Santa Monica rather than treating it as a separate city break.
Anaheim
If Disneyland is a major part of the trip, consider staying nearby for those nights instead of commuting from central Los Angeles.
⚠️ Los Angeles survival kit
A route that looks short on the map can take much longer at busy times. Group attractions by area instead of zig-zagging across the city.
Hotel parking can be expensive. Always add it to the room rate before deciding which property is really cheaper.
Metro and rail can be useful for some journeys, while rideshare works well when parking is more trouble than it is worth.
November, February and early March can feel very pleasant in the daytime, but evenings by the coast can be much cooler than visitors expect.
Studio tours, Hollywood, coastal trips, food tours, museums, theme parks and day trips — browse first, then book only what genuinely improves your trip.
