Also: Pandions can give away a Diamond card.* I wonder if they can give away EBG as well? I'm pretty sure SAS IT can't handle a differentiation in Diamond status (and they shouldn't, I guess - if an EBP perk is to give away EBD, then those getting EBD should get all the benefits). I truly think they'll have to either make more cuts to EBGs soon - or vastly expand the lounges, fast track capacity, priority boarding lines (good thing they aren't enforced in Scandinavia anyway, huh?). *I know this for a certain fact. I know some of thrive on questioning everything that doesn't come from users with 10,000 posts and a Swedish name, but you can believe this or not. It's still true. |

I don't know if they can cut *A obligations just like that but the general "problem" is actually the wide *G benefits so easily available if you can play your game well.

I'm actually stunned how many seats ony next long haul trip are already taken. Assuming only a small percentage of people pay for ASR there has to be a huge number of SK*G in the cabin.

I also find this question interesting - I've also wondered about how many elites there are of each tier. However I'm torned when it comes to setting qualifying requirements. I agree on the fact that 45' BP isn't much but however i consider 45 segments to be 'enough' for EBG. It might be based on the fact that I mainly travel for leisure. However I realize and respect that the EBD and EBP:s should receive special attention, more than me as a EBG, but I don't get why an option would be to distinguish between EBG in Go or Plus on SK metall? Saying that I 've also seen the amount of elites at fast-tracks and in the lounges but my impression of that is that there also is some *A gold-holders - not just EBG/EBD/EBP:s

I still wonder why it's considered a diamond perk to give away a goldcard: it just creates longer lines in FastTrack and absolutely no seating in the gold lounges, so what's in it for me as a diamond customer? I'd rather have some free upgrade vouchers which also might be cheaper for SAS to hand out.
