Sunclass Airlines
A Danish leisure airline operating scheduled holiday flights from Nordic airports, with a network focused on Mediterranean resorts, the Canary Islands and selected long-haul destinations.
About Sunclass Airlines
Sunclass Airlines is a Danish leisure carrier whose present identity dates from 2019, when Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia was renamed following the collapse of the Thomas Cook Group. Its operational roots extend to 1994. The airline is part of Nordic Leisure Travel Group and primarily carries customers travelling with the group’s tour operators, including Spies, Ving and Tjäreborg.
Copenhagen Airport is the airline’s principal hub and operating base, supplemented by departures from Stockholm Arlanda, Oslo Gardermoen, Gothenburg Landvetter and other Nordic airports. Its network is strongly seasonal, linking Scandinavia and Finland with holiday destinations around the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands, North Africa and, during selected seasons, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia.
Sunclass Airlines operates an all-Airbus fleet built around members of the A321 and A330 families, including newer A330neo aircraft used on longer journeys. The narrow-body fleet handles many European and Mediterranean services, while wide-body aircraft serve higher-demand and long-haul routes. Cabin products vary by aircraft and route, with upgraded seating options available on some services.
The airline does not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld and does not operate a conventional points-based frequent-flyer programme. Its commercial model is closely tied to package holidays rather than alliance connections or business-travel networks. Flights may be included in a tour package, although seats can also be offered separately on selected departures and markets.
Sunclass Airlines’ main strength is its specialization in direct leisure flying from Nordic cities, reducing the need for connections when travelling to major holiday regions. The trade-off is that schedules can be highly seasonal and some routes operate only once or a few times weekly. Rebooking options, onboard inclusions and baggage allowances may also depend on the fare or package purchased.
Good to know
Flying with Sunclass Airlines — what to expect
Seasonal Flight Schedules
Many Sunclass Airlines routes operate only during particular holiday seasons. Check operating dates carefully, especially if arranging accommodation or connections separately.
Package-Based Allowances
Baggage entitlements and onboard inclusions can depend on the tour package or ticket type purchased. Confirm the allowance shown in your booking rather than assuming all passengers receive the same terms.
Prebook Optional Extras
Seat selection, meals and additional baggage may be available to reserve before departure. Booking extras in advance is generally more predictable than waiting until the airport.
Mixed Airbus Fleet
European flights commonly use single-aisle Airbus aircraft, while longer services may use wide-body A330-family jets. Seat layout and available cabin upgrades therefore vary by route and aircraft.
Nordic Departure Airports
Besides Copenhagen, the airline operates from several airports across Sweden, Norway and Finland. Availability differs by tour operator, season and local market.

great airline
Seat space is the same as RyanAir. So it's not a lot of space but still ok. The staff was super friendly and humorous. We started on time. The only real problem is that there is no possibility to buy sandwiches or pastries. You can really only buy chips or… See more sweets. There are still Noodle Cups but unfortunately they were sold out on our flight. You can pre-order food for the flight but how do you know what you want to eat in a week or two, we had a morning flight so we would have had our lunch at around 10.30am, well who eats lunch at that time please? For this reason we did not pre-order food However, after it was morning I would have liked to buy a sandwich or something but after they had nothing I had no choice, only eat chips because I was really super hungry. This is really the first airline I've seen where you can't buy anything. Furthermore, you should explain the tax-free shopping better, you get a link for Airahopping before you leave, where you can pre-order something, but it doesn't say when the last day is to order. So we wanted to order various things before we left, unfortunately we couldn't because it was 3 days before departure and the order was apparently too late. This is very confusing

Never again
Never again will we fly with Sunclass airways,they have the smallest seats in the world,worst food in the world half the passengers arrived at Oslo without their luggage which we were never told about until we arrived even though the crew knew about it before… See more we left Phuket,no information whatsoever Food (and I,m being kind calling it food)a stale baguette with two slices of something and a piece of lettuce,the lady next to us paid extra for hers and it was the same as ours except it came in a box,disgusting was what she called it, Ving as a serious travel agent should be ashamed to offer their customers this kind of service, God only knows when we get our luggage back,Never again

Great
Spacious seats, friendly cabin crew, clean interior and screens in front of seats. The flights were delayed but we got free sandwiches for the delay. You cannot do internet check-in in advance; you must go to regular check-in at the airport as well. So you… See more only waste time by doing it on internet. The vegetarian food was small and not so tasty.

LPA-OSL: The food is quite good
The flight from Gran Canaria to Oslo was around one hour delayed. The food was quite good and much better than food we have eaten in some of the flights we have had with Norwegian at long distance flights. The seats are very uncomfortable for a flight of… See more around five hours duration. The service was very good. Average minus because of uncomfortable seats. Look for more reviews by MulleEllum.
