Earning for LX S Class ticket upgraded to Comfort Special P class
Anyone with experience of this? I have a LON-ZRH-DME and return booked into S and upgraded using two pretty reasonable value Comfort Special options into P class. Which one counts for mileage earning?

This is my understanding as well. I have booked a number of these comfort upgrades directly during the booking process and the tickets are issued in P (or Z if P is not available - more miles!). These upgrades can be a great deal to get some extra miles especially on dirt cheap Eco fares like K, which otherwise would not earn anything.
Unfortunately LX business is not what it once was, but, you will have the empty middle seat, the extra miles and a bit better meal. For ~35 euro a segment that can still be great value. In case you are not *G yet it kinda is a no brainer as you also get lounge access.

But yes, from my own experience, they will definitely credit to P. The Swiss upgrade deals can one some routes often be a pretty sweet deal, especially for those without *G! I once upgraded one for only 25 euro - worth it already for a few glasses of the bubbly stuff.
