Any idea about that -- if I book mixed-cabin and book what is presumably SAS Plus as a mixed-cabin award where I'm paying the "business class" award rate for the SAS segment and economy for an additional Star Alliance segment, would we get a free checked bag per passenger?

Thanks for your insight.
The reason that partner awards are charged as business class for SAS Plus is that Star Alliance still don't offer alliance wide premium economy award bookings. So it is J award pricing, or no booking option.
