SAS Scandinavian Airlines
Three countries share one airline, and somehow it works. SAS embodies Scandinavian design — minimalist, functional, effortlessly cool. They've been through multiple bankruptcies but keep coming back, recently joining SkyTeam after decades in Star Alliance.
In 1954 SAS became the first airline to fly a scheduled route over the polar region. Its DC-6Bs ran from Copenhagen to Los Angeles via Greenland and Winnipeg, cutting the long way around off the trip.
