Looks like the calculator has been updated, and with it my MMB.

They are still showing as fare classes "S" & "B",but the TPs have now updated in MMB to 60. In terms of the buckets changing, what would dictate this? The reason I ask is that the additional 20 TPs in this case actually makes a difference for various children hitting bronze, which in turn makes a difference for collecting quite a lot more Avios later in the year on previously-booked LH flights.

This is a half-term booking, so could it be that at the point of booking the tickets all the deep-discount economy seats were gone, and so it booked me into the next cheapest, which on one of the legs was a flexible ticket. It would certainly explain the eye-watering price!!
