Kids Fly FREE On SAS

It's back! SAS is offering their kids fly free promotion through October 5th. Here are the details from the airline's website: 

*KIDS CAMPAIGN: Children (2-11 years) and Infants (0-24 months) who are traveling with an adult pay only taxes and fees. Offer is valid for travel between November 1 – December 19, 2017 and  January 8 – May 31, 2018,  from Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, San Francisco and Washington D.C. to Scandinavia and Finland. The offers does not apply for travels between 16/12 2017–8/1 2018 and 24/3–9/4 2018). Book by October 5.

If you have been thinking about flying to Scandinavia and/or Finland or you want to use this to hop over to Europe, now is the time to act. It won't help you for holiday travel, but if you have a flexible schedule, this may be a great deal for you. 
I entered dates from departing LAX on November 5th to Helsinki and returning November 19th. The cost of the flight would be $870 roundtrip. That includes the adult ticket with taxes and about $60 for taxes for the child. 
If this fills a need for you, the promotion ends October 5th. 
You could apply for a Barclays Arrival Plus card and buy your ticket on that card. It will help you reach the $3,000 minimum and then you can use the points to pay for the ticket. Now the two tickets cost you just $300. 
That's how we do almostfreefamilytravel!
