This will suffer from the same issue as the upcoming 1SEP downgrade of
LX P Biz Savers, which makes the upgrade hard to justify for miles alone.
As
TRAVELSIG points out the booking class will make a difference.
From M&M OS
earnings taking the example of European destinations International flights:
International flights
Business Class
C D J 2000 miles
Z 2000 miles, 1250 as of 1SEP
P 750 miles
So if it books into P as LX (which I predict) only if one is booked in ELK will this be remotely worth it for the miles. You'd lose(!) miles if booked in Y,B,M.
If it books in Z one would gain for all Y booking classes except Y,B,M.
If it books into C D J then a clear gain and I take all my snarky comments back (which I won't have to)
