And for the 1 hour hop in a Dash 8 from BRU to BHX they want at least €160 to bid for the right to move up to the first couple of rows and get that 10 minute meal service. Terrific value there!

I generally wouldn't bother with C on intra-EU unless I'm in need of status miles. I was just checking out of curiosity.

SK seemed just as ridiculous tbh. After booking a SAS Plus trip (ARN-HKG) the minimum bid for SAS Business upgrade from Plus was greater than the price difference between the two classes on the booking page. So you would end up paying less up front for the guarantee of sitting in C than for the chance to get it via bidding.

Which are the airlines that offer vaguely realistic bidding prices? LO seems to be as bad as SN and SK in my experience.
