Was that a Europe-DEL for 46k on Jet metal or on partner metal?

I just checked partners, and the new chart is 42k for partner metal, one-way in Y.

I tried (of course unsuccessfully with the clueless JP characters on e-mail who never even bothered to respond) in May 2015 where they quoted 41k for a partner redemption on LH from Europe-BOM. (Stopover in FRA) Just a data point for reference - so it hasn't gone up more than 1k there.

Note the fee quote for that itinerary (in biz):

"We wish to inform you that the approximate taxes/fees/Surcharges amount applicable for your itinerary is INR 18,08x/- per guest for your travel on XXXXXX to XXXXXX on Lufthansa."

(Not sure if this will change by any measure after this revamp)

Also note this caveat:

"This is with reference to your redemption request on our partner airline.

We wish to inform you that we cannot book Business class and First class segment on the same PNR.

Hence, we regret we are unable to offer you any positive answer in this regard."

If anyone has managed to violate the above statement, please do post here or let me know, so I can *try* my hardest to burn my miles ASAP!
