Upgrading from Economy Extra to business class between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe will double from 10,000 points to 20,000. And upgrading on flights from Scandinavia to Asia, the Middle East and the U.S., will cost you more as well: economy to Economy Extra will now be 20,000, up from 10,000; Economy Extra to business class will be 30,000, up from 20,000 and from economy to business will cost 50,000 points, up from 30,000.
