Is there a SJ last minute discount for pensioners?
Sista minuten for pensioners and SJ's pensioner discount.
Short answer
Yes, pensioners can buy SJ Sista minuten tickets, which are released 24 hours before departure, and SJ also gives pensioners a discount in all travel classes. SJ counts as a pensioner anyone who has retired, turned 65 or receives compensation from Försäkringskassan.
Why
- SJ says Sista minuten journeys are released 24 hours before departure and can be bought by people aged 25 or younger, students or pensioners.
- According to SJ, anyone who has retired, turned 65 or receives compensation from Försäkringskassan always gets a pensioner discount, which applies in all travel classes.
- SJ states that a Sista minuten ticket cannot be rebooked or refunded and cannot be combined with other offers or campaigns.
Details
SJ's pensioner page does not state a percentage, and it says the discount applies in all travel classes and on some period tickets. Since SJ says Sista minuten cannot be combined with other offers, check the price shown at booking. For the full picture, see discounts and classes on SJ and how to buy SJ tickets.
Tip
Look for Sista minuten the day before you travel, and choose it only if your plans are fixed because it cannot be rebooked or refunded. Costs for the whole trip are in what a trip to Sweden costs.
What may differ
If you have not yet turned 65, SJ says you must show a valid ID document and a pensioner certificate from Pensionsmyndigheten or Försäkringskassan.
Common misconception
You must be 65 to get SJ's pensioner discount.
What actually happens
SJ also gives the discount to people who have retired or receive compensation from Försäkringskassan, but under 65 you need ID and a pensioner certificate.
