I am new to SK and the whole bidding thing is interesting but I really need to decide on the value to us... Polaris lounge will be nice if we get it and the lie flat seat will be great but there is a point when it is not quite worth the price and we would rather spend the money on the trip!




Thanks! That helps a lot in deciding what to bid.

Apologies, my intention is not to be unhelpful, but to highlight that there is no rhyme or reason to pricing. What I have seen when I log on to bid is that for Go/Economy to Business I have paid anywhere between 3500 to 7000 sek. I have seen bid ranges of 2500 - 5000 sek from Plus to Business. Maybe others have seen this floor/minimum?

Because SAS moves the floor/minimum several times during the bidding process (and has almost no upper limit), you only have to keep in mind that Your Mileage Will Vary.

I wish good luck with the bidding process and that you get the seat that you want
