I was wondering about the same thing when I saw this in the app. Most airlines are classified as a major 5 Star airlines by APEX, as seen on this page: https://apex.aero/articles/celebrati...ers-announced/
Apparently the rating is solely based on passenger votes and feedback.

Recently saw an SK flight from CPH where the A3*G status wouldn’t show up on SK economy class boarding passes despite the efforts of the SK check-in counter staff at CPH, the Additional Services staff land-side, the airside service desk staff and even the SK gate agent to try to get the A3*G status to show up for a partner airline-booked award ticket for SK flight. The SK lounge granted manual access anyway based on the *G digital cards, but getting priority boarding for *Gs at the gate was repeatedly denied by the Danish gate agent who tried to insist that A/B group boarding wasn’t applicable to Star Golds unless the boarding pass showed Group A boarding. Truly ridiculous that the Star Gold boarding noted on the electronic displays is to be taken as only applicable if SK can push out a *G indicator on the SK boarding passes.

In the days before the electronic boarding gates were as prevalent at CPH as they are now, it used to be easier to deal with these situations where the *G status wouldn’t show up on the SK boarding passes but the traveler had a *G card to show.

Apparently there are three levels, world class airlines, 5 Star and 4 Star. With the two latter split into global, regional, and LCCs. So I guess 5 Star kind of means OK but not great?

Hi everyone, new member here. Looking forward to getting to know you guys

I can offer lounge access on GOT-ARN 2nd of October from around 7.15 am.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! We are a nice bunch, and we share our opinions freely.

You should check out the dedicated lounge meetings thread created by Nick Art - you can edit the original post at the top of the thread or post a reply with your movements to meet + guest in others.

To paraphrase The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, we are mostly harmless.

Welcome to FlyerTalk and the SAS | EuroBonus forum RhinoG ! We're glad to have you.

To add the preceding post: "Don't panic".

Speaking of panic, earlier this month some passengers airside at CPH were sort of panicking in the proximity of the beeping, unmanned robo-cleaners cleaning the airport floors airside. It's not like it was a runaway bull in a china shop although they seem to be somewhere up in that weight category or higher.

And in the other SAS home market, it seems like Swedavia wants its airports to have price caps on the food and drink offerings at the airports so that the airport retailers' premium over street prices isn't as extreme as it currently can be. Apparently the cost of a simple sandwich and drink at GOT got enough attention that Swedavia decided to get around to want to be seen as having done something about it.

A bottle of water is 20dkk at CPH. I don't know whether it is categorized as extreme compared to outside. Compared to Netto, certainly. But what about comparing to buying it inside Tivoli? I have no idea.

How much is the same bottle in 7-11 across the capital region?

No idea as I drive so I don't really pay attention to stuff that I don't buy. Mr. thinks 20kr is pretty on par at least with restaurant tap water price.

At CPH you don't have that much choice if you want mineral water unless you are willing to walk to the Netto by the motorway.

SAS will retire its last 737 on November 19th. Apparently there will be a special last flight with flight number SK737.

The routing will be ARN-OSL.


I was, however, unable to find more information on what routing it will be and if it is bookable.

Does anybody have more information?

Apparently sold out quite quickly, and will be flying for two hours instead of roughly one, which it usually takes. Likely som nice celebrations planned.

This is what they did when the last B737-600 retired two years ago:
