Fare basis is DFFZEU07 BCN to MEX but it is NOT full flex, 250 EUR cancel/refund fee, no stopover allowed, 7 days advanced purchase, max stay 3 months, min stay saturday/6 days. It is most likely the correct P price and rules with wrong fare basis and booking class. Note this should be upgradable to F with staralliance miles.
During the booking process I clicked on the specifics of the business flex conditions and it stated that both changes and cancellations were allowed and free of charge. However, upon purchase, it is showing as allowed with a €250 fee which suggests it's a business basic plus fare....?
I have no plans to change or cancel but be interested to know what fare I'm booked under (showing as D) and whether it's bus flex or bus basic plus?
Thanks,

Usually, D class is full flex. Even more usually, when there is FF in the fare basis, it is full flex. That's what the website uses to "brand" the various business class fares and 99% of the time it is correct. However here, LH screwed up completely, so you get D for half the usual P promo fare, and you get non flex P conditions as per the rules... even if the fare basis has FF and the booking class is D. Trust the rules (check on ITA to be sure) and not marketing blabla on the website.

I retrieved the Fare Rules from my Corpo Booking Tool:
16.PENALTIES
CANCELLATIONS
ANY TIME
CHARGE EUR 250.00 FOR CANCEL/NO-SHOW/REFUND.
EUR 250.00 it is then...
BTW. Ticket purchased... Nice price...
