SAS celebrates four million EuroBonus members
Now we are 4 mio. members of Eurobonus. No. 4.000.0000 is a 27 year old Norwegian.
The growth is 50.000 a month.
50 percent of all SAS revenue comes from EB-members, according to SAS. I would have guessed more. There must be big tour groups from overseas pulling down.

According to the mail it was some guy called 'Stig'. Things must have gone downhill pretty fast after Top Gear stopped...
And for being number 4.000.000 (just a random number), he also got a round trip in C for 2 people to the USA, a bottle of champagne and 200.000 EB points.
This is one of those moments where I'd loved to see Janteloven at work. What if the crowds got angry and demanded that, if one person got that for joining, we should all have gotten it for joining?

To my surprise, even during parts of the school year, SAS economy class on my flights from/to the US often had large groups of Scandinavian teenager types on board. And during the summer, lots of tour groups catering more to the retiree and retirement-approaching crowd.

Because the teenagers are going on study tour. Mr. went to the US the first time when he was in high school over 20 years ago. It's very common for these fortunate young people to see the world with their school.

I know some of the schools my family and friends attended in the US would send kids on group trips to Europe, but except for when that was part of a language class it was almost always or mostly taking place during school vacation periods.

Not so much. Points and champagne only. No C-tickets. Someone translated the points into what could be bought with it.

The teenager tour groups seem to often consist of those who are well under 15 years of age. They seemed to be closer to twelve or thirteen years of age in many cases.

I'm wondering much more why I always see lot of families traveling outside of school vacation periods (mostly short before or after the official vacation time) but then read a couple of articles that it has become a popular sport to take kids out of school and go on vacation for a week or two since it is way cheaper in the off-peak travel period.
