I'm EBS and I booked flight from GOT to VIE (via CPH) on a Go Light fare. GOT to CPH segment is on ATR operated by "Regional Jet". SAS.se shows no baggage allowance for this flight (it correctly shows one bag for outbound flight, which is wholly operated by SAS), despite my status. I presume this is because there is a flight not operated by SAS. I wonder if this is just an IT glitch, or if there's really no extra baggage on this flight. I understand there is no extra baggage for EBS on codeshares, but I assumed that wet leases are considered to be SAS flights for these purposes.

I am not sure if I would agree here. After refurbishment lounges in ARN/OSL are not that far from LH lounges (my assessment: drinks - parity, food - LH slightly better, seating - parity). CPH is another story, though.

Food and beverage in LH lounges are definately far better. But to my taste the decor and design is hugely uninspiring - always reminds me of a doctors waiting room. So damned neutral. But luckily we are all different.

This morning in LLA: scanned my app QR code in one of the kiosks to print my baggage tag. Machine came back with a text in Swedish roughly saying 'no bag included in your ticket'. Went to the checkin counter, agent tapped a few keys after scanning the same QR code, asked 'only one bag?' and checked my bag without any comment, even added a red *A priority tag. 😜

I wouldn't even try a SAS kiosk, considering how awful their systems are in recognizing status. I've also had to ask for the orange tag to be put on a few times in CPH, do the agents there think its only for EB *G?? At least their tag is the type that can just be stuck on top, not between the white tag. In STR, they actually once put the orange tag on even when I was *S and my bag did end up coming out nearly first.

About the only thing I rate better in an SK lounge is the wifi and even that has it ups and downs.

At hubs yes. At smaller airports or ones where Star Alliance doesn't have a big presence I have a gut feeling it's still at least partially based on the tag.

Go Light flights now on US long haul as well
SK recently announced that they will be extending the Go Light concept to the US routes as well. I guess HBO is here to stay, and here to grow. Luckily not quite in the form of the US basic economy fares, and as long as the *G bag remains I guess it is not a bad thing for the frequent travellers.

It is to be seen how long will it be until SK tries to cut more out of what SK passengers to/from the US get for the "Go Light" type of fares?
