I wonder what kind of service Star Alliance Gold will receive on-board, anything special or do they recognize only their own elites. There cannot be many EBGs on-board because I would guess most of us would choose SAS late-night flight to PEK instead.
Hmm... they have ancient 762ERs and new 763ERs. I remember looking up the 767 parked in ARN a few months ago (bored in the lounge) and its the older 762. Not that the bird will not fly, but older aircraft tend to be more crummy inside inspite of facelifts (see the ex-NG OS 763). The 767-3Q8ER is used by the chinese premier on his overseas trips, so it can't be that bad
