Was not such a problem until they messed the milage earning in Business Class. So you can get fewer miles when you a more expensive fare!!!
Exactly, especially with LX the P fares can be a total mess not only when it comes to booking and pricing but also with regards to earning miles. I just had an M fare this week (flex Economy fare with free rebooking but cancelation fee) and was considering to up-sell to P. However, for the 200 CHF I would have gotten ~20% less miles and only a bit more privacy. Really not worth it
