Another enhancement, separate Star Gold check-in no longer a benefit

After the removal of third-party lounges, SAS has now devaluated EBG/EBD again, by removing separate Star Gold lines. Until recently SAS had a separate Star Gold line at OSL (and presumably at CPH and ARN as well), but this is now longer there.

SAS has (without any announcement) removed separate Star Gold check-in from the list of benefits given to EBG/EBDs. The Norwegian EB web page is now just listing business class check-in as the perk, i.e. the same as EBS.

I discovered this yesterday morning, when I had to do a manual check-in at OSL and nearly missed the baggage drop-off deadline after having to wait nearly 15 minutes in a badly organized line for one of the two business counters. Most of the waiting time was due to the very slow check-in of the companion of a queue-jumping pilot in uniform.

So even less reason to maintain EBD/EBG
