That's pretty standard. "Y" on the BP typically means "economy," not Y fare class.

No, fare class would not typically be reflected on your BP.

K, btw, is the deepest discount are class on LX. I take it this was not an expensive ticket.

Yes, fare class (K) will surely be reflected on your e-ticket receipt.
