My miles certainly vary!
Cheaper TATL economy fares than that pop up far, far more frequently than do cheaper business fares.
Besides, that economy fare only comes with an 8kg hand luggage allowance; to check a bag paid in advance would cost an extra $280 for the return ($340 if paid at the airport) - which almost (or, more than, if paid at the airport) doubles the "price" of that ticket.
And certainly, from a mileage runner/status runner perspective, economy fares are unattractive at any price when "deals" exist in business class. If you're going to check a bag, wouldn't you pay an extra $130 to get not just one 23kg bag, but 2*32kg bags, as well as lounge access, and 150% or 200% miles [versus 10% or 0%, depending on programme, in economy]?
Seems a total no-brainer to me!

I just booked a one way for fun CPH-LIS-MIA for 470 one way in business class.
Just a 2 hour layover in Lisbon which is nice.
Always nice to review another airline in business class.

You can pretty much renew *A Gold for $500-600 total.

Since this has been around for 2 days now, not every date/city combination is available. Flights in certain fare classes sell out. Sub-$500 fares remain OSL-NYC or BOS for most of September through February.
CPH appears to be mostly sold out at the lowest rates now, though you can do OSL-CPH-LIS-NYC

BTW, you can do a free stopover in LIS at this fare, so you can see LIS too.
