For late this month, ORD-CPH had last bids going from economy class (Go Bonus) to business class in at $462. They didn’t drop it on the way despite even flying out with a couple of business class award space inventory seats remaining (and going unused).
For *Gs who think there is some economy class seat-blocking benefit that happens at times on SK departures from the US, there is also sometimes an alternative to pay for an extra seat to be blocked. SAS was charging a bit under $80 to do in economy class that today from a few US airports.
