Be nice to catch up again with Gaucho AND kempis.

I think Stockholm sounds great too. Seeing it was kempis IIFC that originally tipped us all off that Scandic/Hilton rooms there cost a measly 10K a night or 15K for 3 nights I'd vote for STOCKHOLM!

That is an absolute pittance 'cost' in a high cost country like Sweden. (That deal ends soon folks, so lets move on this!)

kempis has helped countless FT'ers over his 4000+ posts by being able to supply ACCURATE rates/rules/routings on all kinds of queries within minutes of being posted. Possibly from his desk at the Scandinavian Airline he work for who may-or-may-not-be-a-member-of-the-Star-Alliance.

I remember kempis working frantically one evening trying to clear an upgrade on a carrier we had no miles on but he did, and offered them to us. 7,000 miles away we stood at the boarding gate while he contacted the airline. End result - we both sat for 12 hours in comfort upstairs on a non Star Alliance 747-400.

True FlyerTalk spirit at work. The beers are on us in Stockholm.

ozstamps The beers are on us in Stockholm

well, you better check (and increase) the credit card limits before going there - beer (any alcohol) costs more in Scandinavia than anywhere else in Europe ...

Ouch - don't remind me Rudi!

Try $US20 a glass for local beer in a local pub in NORWAY last year. THAT makes Sweden look bargain basement! Denmark was like third world prices to us in comparison.
