Combined population for the Nordic region is 24,7 mn people, speaking seven different languages. Danish is the most common among the countries, being a mandatory language in schools in Denmark (surprise), Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Swedish is spoken by most people (in Sweden, the Ĺland islands and parts of southern Finland).
Historically, Denmark, which is now the smallest of the fully independent Nordic countries by size, once ruled all of the Nordic region except Finland.

By measure of EBS/EBG luggage tags, there have to be a good number of EBSs and EBGs -- and an even bigger pool of regular EB members -- to pick up, right?
Who is going to lead this effort? Should we draft Tommy777 since he has such a good record of delivering the goodies?

I guess I just have to look for chicks with EBG/EBS tags on my flights...

By the way, is Iceland considered part of Scandinavia?

I also remember very well when CO used to be the American partner. It was a much more fun time to be a FF...

I have a couple of questiones regarding SK lounge on arrival policy. Is it valid on arrival in PVG, NRT and PEK? Or is it limited to SK operated lounges around the world? The sk web page states that:
"Gold members also have lounge access when arriving from an SAS operated intercontinental flight (though not at Heathrow or Newark due to airport authority regulations)."
There is no intercontinental SK flights to\from heathrow though...
Karl in Oz...

LX messed up my PPS run today thanks to smoke in the cabin at NAI tonight. Two missed connections and one whole day of AVRO flying. Im sitting in the ZRH Swiss lounge thinking of never trusting LX schedules again.

Then by the 1600s Sweden emerged as a European major power and came damn close to taking over all of Denmark but settled for the southern half of the mainland. It's now the smallest because it lost over half its territority to Sweden!
