I usually book my flights for business over Amex GBT.
When I download my reciept, only the taxes are shown, the ticket price states IT only. I know it is a coorporate rate and aparently the cost is “hidden”.
how are those tickets valued? No award miles but only status miles?

I was surprised , when I discovered some hours ago that if I buy a ticket on Lot.com (080-XXXXXXXXX) or United.com (016-XXXXXXXXXXX) old rules will apply... Is it correct? Thanks

In today's spam LH alludes that there are two ways the system calculates the miles and that it will at a later stage "account for the difference". So they don't have the IT to handle this, are aware that they don't, and decided to let it run anyway by just introducing the caveat that the recalculation can happen at any stage.
Glad that M&M is the one part of the LH services, I don't have to use. I have three Lufthansa flights coming up within 2 months and that would have been quite a downer.

I booked a flight yesterday in P class.
mileage credit on the confirmation page, and also with simulation on M&M calculator shows 3752M. so from what I understand, having booked prior to today, I'll get that number even if the flight is in May, right?
and for future bookings, I'd like to get a better grasp.
this ticket fare is 140€, international/domestic surcharge is 172€, so should I calculate 140+172 = 312 x 6 (FTL) = 1872 award miles total? is this the correct math?
and for status miles, the booking class still applies, correct? so it still does makes sense to try and think of classes if one wants to get more miles, right? (i.e. by using the Matrix ITA website)
thanks!
