I tested a few dates in Spring 2022, all booked into P, and all very close to the "from" price (within 1000DKK higher than the "from" price).
Am I correct in reading that these companion fares do not include lounge access, priority boarding, or priority lanes? Is that new or have these fares always been that pared down?

It sure looks like that when doing a dummy booking on LH. Tried the same thing on LX website and there you get everything, so it might just be some IT glitch on LH's part.

This is what I see on dummy bookings on LH's website:

Hmmm, wonder if the fare I am seeing is actually the discounted fare.

I also see the pared down "fly me with business" version. And if you click through and look at fare conditions, it explicitly excludes lounge, fast track, and priority boarding.

If true, á la AY, it seems Carsten is still reading my emails on ways to reduce the carbon footprint of LH by reducing pax numbers

Besides the absence of lounge access and priority boarding, what the hell is this? ⬇️⬇️

I have booked for me and my mother a “Fly me with Business” ticket for April 2022, GRU-ZRH with Swiss (LX 93 / LX 92).

Booked at LH.com and now this is what appears at LH main Web page when I am logged in (in Portuguese, sorry, but is easy to guess):





But the confirmation e-mail shows the booking in the P class anyway. I was also able to do the seat reservation (also excluded from the fare conditions at LH web and App).

In the Swiss App, I also get this:




And at the Swiss Web Site, the Fly with me Business fare conditions shows all the Business services.

I hope this is really just a “glitch” at LH.com and I also only hoping for the best regarding the coronavirus situation for next year.

I just called LH who told me that both passengers would have lounge access, priority boarding and the other benefits associated with business class.

I couldn't find any mention of unbundled fares on the LH website - but at the same time when going through a dummy booking, lounge access, priority boarding etc are greyed as benefits for this fare. I was going to book one of these fares today but I'm feeling a little nervous now...

So far there has been no announcement and I suspect it is just a display issue... LH's IT is not known for stellar accuracy

"This offer is valid for sale until 20 July 2021." Does that mean it ends tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight?
