Did somebody contact LH on Twitter / FB / Website Form to confirm this information or get a reaction? I think LH should know that some of the most frequent travelers out there have visibility to this and are not happy about it. To me, OpUps are the only real benefit being a SEN.
I will let them know that if this is true, I will also "enhance" my booking behavior and stop buying ridiculously priced (>$1,200) LH S,W and L tickets in the summer months and over Christmas.
