Of course the 25% rule has had a large impact on the number of elites, but the point ban in Norway has also been a major factor |
I realize it varies greatly by flight, route, etc, but any idea of how many EBGs would typically be on a flight? If < 5% of all flyers are EBGs, does that mean that on average, less than a handful of EBGs will be on my flight? This is what I'm always thinking because of op-up opportunities. Maybe it varies way too much by flight/date/etc such that it's not possible to generalize at all.

You can check the number of EBG/ elite pax by looking at the flight manifest that hangs in the galleys during a flight. 5-10% of the pax usually is EBS, EBG or *S/G.

It can be anything from 100% EBG (has happened on ARN-GOT) to 0% I believe... Varies A LOT on route and day. Peak times there are a lot more EBGs than not. That's why the chances for upgrades are better on off-peak times and weekends and holidays when there are (in my experience) fewer of us frequent flyers travelling... :)

Justin A quick look at the manifest for high density route ARN-GOT this morning (07.05) gave about 60 EBG, 1 EBP, about 10 EBS and 1 LH*G. On the other hand, ARN-VXO last week I was the only EBG. Once on a (not so full) ARN-EWR I asked the GS and she said there was only 2 EBGs (one was me) in M. So the short answer is - it varies. |
Take any morning flight on BGO-OSL, OSL-CPH or any of the main intra scandinavian routes and it tends to be EBG's to the rafters on most flights.

For sure.. OSL-ARN flights are extreme. When the new 2 class service starts on intra Scandinavian we can again clearly see where SAS makes their money.. Back in the days when these routes had C, the divider could be in row 25 on the MDs..
