I also want to add that many people in intra-Europe LH J cabin are connecting to/from long-haul flights. As someone wrote recently in the LH forum, difference between J and Y intra-Europe is negligible even before the recent catering issues. His/her comment may be tongue-in-cheek, but true in a sense -- people taking intra-Europe J are either on feeder flight, or their tickets are paid by employer, or are super rich, or are idiots.
