P class?
I noticed that as of November 13, P fares no longer earn any miles with one of my FFPs of choice (JL). I recall that these were originally used for PF (i.e. Suites), but they now seem to be used mostly for discount business fares, which might explain the devaluation.
Could someone shed some light on what kinds of EK fares currently book into P and how they're treated by Skywards?

Correct they now are used for discounted business. I just booked a DXB-KHI P class ticket. It was as expensive as the I class fares I have usually booked in the past.
Many websites (e.g. priceline) have trouble with this new booking class and may show the segment as economy while it is actually business class.

Thanks. I saw some P fares on ITA booking into F, but I assume this is due to the same reason as them appearing as Y.
