Furthermore I always try too book at least D as its not that much mire expensive and earns significantly more miles.

Apparently my ticket was refundable even in the case of no-show. So in that case I'd say it was worth buying J.

One of the reasons that I kept my EB account for after switching to M&B, apart from earning miles through my MasterCard World, was accrual on fares similar to LH's P or SQ's CJZ (and half a dozen flights on WF, but that's just a minor part...)Maintaining my SK*S status due to crediting such trips to my EB account is a positive side-effect

Because I had a J fare I felt they should have made some effort like waiting 5 minutes, or providing an aircraft to aircraft transfer instead of rebooking me on a later flight I could have booked for 400 eur less had I been flexible about when I wanted to reach OSL.
