It may simply be that with capacity cuts and significantly increased demand, discounted premium is a dodo bird during this season.
I've been flying this route for years and never seen such pricing... Will just keep checking or have to fly another airline I guess...
EDIT: Actually found R space leaving from US on the 27th - Might actually purchase Economy and then upgrade to business. R space on the return still not available though and can't farelock due to LH segments - funny that their pricing strategy might encourage me to spend less and upgrade - but maybe that's what they want!
