If in doubt, leave it out. Even if you accidentally take a dangerous good on board an aircraft you can be fined and penalised.

Check-In

SAS passengers may check-in for their flight at the airport ticket counter. Check-in opens approximately three hours before scheduled departure and for most international flights closes 60 to 90 minutes prior.  Guests checking in after closing time may be denied boarding in which case the fare could be forfeited. Self service kiosks are also provided at many Scandinavian and European airports. Passengers can use this self service device to print boarding passes, select seats and select the number of bags being checked in.
