Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) - Z/P available but no D class?

Hi

I just bought a C RTW ticket. One leg is on LH3230 on 30AUG HAM-CDG.
As D was not available, I was booked into Y.
Expertflyer shows J4 C4 D0 Z3 P3 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 G9 Q9 V9 W9 S0 TC EC LC KC. Even I-class is available.
Called Senator desk and the agent said that they cannot do anything about it.
Does it only look wrong to me?

Have your TA waitlist the segment?

Did so. But haven't cleared yet and don't think it will.
Looks erroneous.

Could it be a method of capacity control to avoid selling too many RTW segments? IME, SQ did this all the time prior to the introduction of new business seating; I had to route through CPH-SIN once because there was no D availability from any other Europe departure city.

Expertflyer POS could show different inventory than you are entitled to with your POS.
Probably your point of sale also has Z0P0.

No, they said they see the same availability.
Just strange as the whole week D is zeroed out though Z/P/I available. and zack.. from next month on D is wide open again.

Looks like they only have 4 business seats to sell on that flight:

The fact that its 'DL' indicates that RM will clear the waitlist manually. I'm sure once the LH DEL people who work the manual WL queue get to it D will clear for you.

My domestic D class WLs usually clear within a couple of hours. KONT D class is a little more tricky but so far they all cleared with some pressure (with additional non LH alternative segments in the PNR!).
Longhaul also always cleared so far. Z class is a different issue though.
(I don't book Z anymore for exactly this reason - probably I'm already a victim)
