that’s the ticket!
Sterling opens new Airport Sales Offices in hubs
If you’ve been flying from Stockholm Arlanda, Oslo or Malmo airports recently you may have noticed that Sterling has opened ticket sales offices in the Departures areas. This will make it easier for you to change tickets, book holidays while you wait for flights and it also gives you face to face contact with our sales staff onsite. More offices are due to open this year, including Aalborg in July, plus London Gatwick, Bergen, Gothenburg and Billund later in the season. Tanya Jonsson, in charge of the new openings, commented: “Sterling wants to provide the best possible service to our passengers, and that’s why we decided to open our own offices in several airports. Our bright red ticket offices are certainly easy to spot.”

making connections easier
27 new SterlingConnect routes
We have added 27 new SterlingConnect routes to the existing ones. This means you can now use the service from Bergen to 14 new final destinations, plus there are an additional seven routes available from Aalborg and six from Gothenburg. Our SterlingConnect service makes taking connecting flights easy, since your entire trip is on one ticket and your luggage is checked in from your home airport to your final destination.
SterlingConnect is now available out of Bergen to Alicante, Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin, Budapest, Faro, Malaga, Milan, Naples, Paris, Prague, Valencia and Chania in Crete.
So far we have offered SterlingConnect from Aalborg to Malaga, Milan, Nice, Barcelona and Budapest. As of 2 June another seven were added from Aalborg. These are: Athens, Paris, Faro, London, Naples, Olbia in Sardinia, and Venice.
Barcelona, Budapest, Faro and London have been SterlingConnect routes from Gothenburg. And now Athens, Florence, Milan, Malaga, Nice, and Olbia are on the SterlingConnect program from Gothenburg, too.
Take a look at the blue SterlingConnect lines on our ‘Where We Fly’ map, pages 102-104! We’re pleased to report that SterlingConnect passengers are happy with the service so far.
new routes include lisbon and milan
Ciao, or shall we say bom dia! In honour of two new route launches – to Lisbon from Copenhagen and to Milan from Stockholm coming this winter, we’ve composed a little quiz, below (answers at the bottom of this page). In addition to these new routes, we are also increasing the number of flights between Aalborg and Copenhagen to five times daily including a noon departure, plus increasing flights between London Gatwick and Copenhagen to four daily departures with a new early morning departure from Gatwick at 6.55am. And there’s more…. Billund to Salzburg is due to launch soon.
Test your local knowledge here…

onboard shopping just got better!
If you love a little retail therapy, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a new inflight shopping catalogue in your seat pocket. Fly/Buy, Sterling’s revamped onboard shopping magazine, offers twice as many products as before – from fragrances, make-up and accessories to jewellery. You’ll find luxury goodies around 35% cheaper than you can find on the high street. On this season’s wishlist are Marc Jacobs’ pretty floral eau de toilette, ‘Daisy’, currently listed in Fly/Buy for a mere DKK 319, compared with DKK 430 in the shops. Or sleek Carolina Herrera sunglasses going for DKK 695, down from DKK 1290. A great summer deal!
And don’t forget! You can save time and find even more up-to-the-minute deals by pre-ordering online. Just click on www.sterlingtaxfreeshop.com to browse and order in English, Danish, Swedish or Norwegian. Buy in advance and your purchases will be waiting onboard when you fly. If you prefer to flick through a magazine, you can also get the full brochure sent to your home and enjoy tax-free shopping from the comfort of your couch, before you fly Sterling.
