Probably a question that gets asked quite a bit. If so, apologies for the extra thread.
But...has anyone heard anything from SAS about the possibility of launching a Lifetime Diamond programme? Coming up on 10 years qualifying as Diamond and was just curious as to whether we think they will get around to launching one. I was planning to ask the question at the last Gold/Diamond meet-and-greet, but ended up having to travel for work and missed it.

When I look for award travel on the UA and SQ websites, I see no SK nonstop CPH-SFO flight from September 16 to October 17. The SK website shows a ridiculous 172K for economy for all dates in this range except for 30K on September 26. Is there something special going at this time of the year?

I myself have received Gold for Life after 10 years as EBD, so would very much like to see this a reality, but I guess the "problem" is that there are just too many of us..
Also, SAS wants to make a bigger difference between EBG and EBD in order to reward the most loyal members, so I guess giving Diamond for Life crashes with that idea. Except the extremely few that may have been EBP for 10 years, if any..

I asked about this at the event. This is considered too expensive so it will not happen.

The answer they gave you is disappointing, but not surprising.
I'm unsure if I want to keep Diamond long-term. Some kind of Lifetime programme would have kept me interested. Oh well, the best we can do is keep asking and maybe they'll think about changes in the future 🙃

Finally, CPH has at least two of the CT bag scanners operating. They don’t seem to be as quick at CPH with getting me through as they are at ARN T5 with the CT bag scanners at the premium pax ARN T5 passenger screening checkpoint, but it’s better than what happens for me at IAD with the Analogic CT scanners when I’m doing IAD-CPH with Clear+PreCheck.

Anyone else here catch the USAF C-5 Galaxy at MMX on Saturday? Week 35 also had a B-2 landing in Norway. All this and more made for extra special sights in the SAS homelands.

Even the "DYKWIA?" or "I'm a diamond member!" did not seem to sway them...

I’ve been seeing C-17s at CPH repeatedly over the past dozen or so years, so C-17s at CPH is not a novelty to me, unlike US military helicopters damaging a bunch of newly delivered cars at a port elsewhere in Denmark. But a C-5 at MMX was a real novelty.
For what it’s worth and not related to all the C-17 sightings at CPH, CPH is a primary point for which the USG staffs for supplies for the USAF in Greenland and from which the US supplies the USAF in Greenland.

I am not the harshest critique of SK, and generally I am satisfied with SK as a carrier. But with this latest award they apparently got, and now are advertising on the app.... How many stars is it actually possible to get???
