It has been a while since I was forced to use regular security at CPH but my experiences have always been that it usually isn't that bloody - there are lots of screeners. In my experience using SK fast track, the signs showing waiting times at regular security never seem to show more than 10 minutes and usually closer to 3 - 4 minutes. But I haven't flown CPH during this pandemic, so things may be worse.

The main screening checkpoint at CPH has not involved more than a 5 minute wait for me at any point during this pandemic so far — and even that 4-5 minutes was due to a passenger or two being slow or messing up things with me being unwilling to move over to another lane of sorts. That said, I’ve been flying at the times when the TK and ME airline crowds and sun/charter flights aren’t keeping some check-in lines busy. I did use fast track at ARN yesterday, and it is more needed there by me than at CPH.

No you do not get fast track - booking class X is economy award, so nothing fancy. You get what you pay for, I’m afraid. Co-branded credit cards will not get you what you want either.

saaveraward should see what the SAS mobile boarding pass put onto a phone shows. If it says SAS Fast Track above the machine-readable square code, then it should work when and where SAS Fast Track is open.

Flight isn't open for check in yet so I can't see a QR code, but will definitely look closer to the flight. Thanks!

Partner airline award tickets booked into SAS economy class included Fast Track at ARN for UA*G and A3*Gs this week. The SAS mobile boarding passes said “SAS Fast Track” on them and worked automatically at the self-scan fast track at ARN for UA*GS and A3*Gs on economy class award tickets issued by various non-European carriers for SAS economy class intra-European flights.

In the original context of this thread, “no status” with regard to SAS Fast Track would also include SAS economy class flyers in X award space who are UA*G, A3*G and most other airline programs’ *Gs since such status meant no status with regard to SAS Fast Track. But it appears to me that things have changed this year, as I’m seeing SAS X coming with SAS Fast Track now for UA and A3*Gs in a way that wasn’t the case pre-pandemic.
