I haven't had the opportunity to use EBD with star departures, so that part I should not comment on!
However, I read
@pep as saying "
any skyteam status card with any skyteam ticket opens SAS fasttrack". And my experience way back was that it wasn't so during the star era.
E.g. a A3 gold with SK ticket was not given SAS fast track and was not given CPH express either. SAS said "SAS-card needed for fasttrack" and CPH express said "we require A3 gold and A3 ticket".
Anyway, history is of less importance, if it really is so that any skyteam status card on any skyteam ticket offers SAS fasttrack at CPH then those with odd combinations may rejoice!
