Snowflake

I'm not at all familiar with this so-called low-cost part of SAS so my questions are rather basic.

I need to buy a one-way ticket later in May and had a look around and found most one-way tickets were ridiculously expensive.
However I did have a look at the Snowflake webpage and found a very good flight, the day I need to travel, and at a very reasonable price.
I have previously tried to avoid Snowflake but at this point it seems the wisest thing to do.

Questions:
*Are all my EBG benefits valid on Snowflake as well? Baggage, lounge access etc.
I will have a bit more than 20 kg of checked baggage so the baggage part is vital. Otherwise I'll consider buying another ticket to make sure the excess baggage is waived as per *G rule.

*Is it possible to interline checked baggage connecting to and from a Snowflake flight?
That means having two separate tickets but asking the check-in agent to check the baggage all the way to the final destination.
In my case it would be BMI and Snowflake.
Or is it strictly reclaim and recheck-in if you're connecting with separate tickets "à la Ryanair"?

*Are there any other differences between Snowflake and normal SAS economy regarding the travel experience on the ground and in the air that I ought to know?

Thanks!
