Buyer beware. If those booked into the P fare bucket, then you earn no miles on most FFP for LH metal and 100% for LX metal.

Hi, I never posted before but have been lurking since a couple of years.
I just wanted to say thank you for opening this thread. This year my wife and I started our own business and because of this we have to travel a couple of times per year to asia.
We booked our tickets through this offer, which i found thanks to this board. It gives me the opportunity to experience Lufthansa F for the first time in my life. So I am very excited about it.
In august we will travel Shanghai in LH F , and in November to Hong Kong in LH P . Really nice stuff to look forward to.
Thanks again.

More thanks; just booked an anniversary trip to Zanzibar (via Dar). Seriously, I wonder how this works as the 'full fare' was Ł5006 and we paid Ł1006 each. Decent flight times too.
We plumped to put our miles into SAS as this fare earned 10k miles and that's enough for a RT on some SAS flights.

LHR- ZHR-DAR out 23/24 Jan back 1 Feb. [ And we decided to have an overnight in ZRH to make the outbound a bit more relaxed (lounge before the LHR-ZRH flight, then breakfast in ZRH lounge etc rather than a 3am leaving home affair for a 6am check in at LHR. We will get the ferry to and from ZAN; or possibly fly.
Note that you can also route via GVA and ZRH which gets you a few more miles and an opportunity to city hop - for about Ł30 extra per person.
Here is the matrix search
And the results
And the fare rules
That's when the GVA hop might be useful as it takes you over 10,000 SAS Eurobonus miles which is the cheapest RT 'free' fare in Scandinavia (eg Bergen to Svalbard is 5,000 e/w).
Interesting I booked via the Swiss German link, re-set the country / language to the UK and the fare priced at Ł1006 so cheaper than Matrix (a first for me!).

Just in the middle of my trip to HK (thanks again for the tip - a bit badly timed but riots not affecting us, unlike the locals 
)
I just noticed that the first leg was only credited 2.2k award miles (for 6.8k status miles); surely there's a mistake there

Since March 2018 or so, award miles are based on the fare paid, but in any case it looks very little miles

Disgusting... i saw they switched to pro rata now like af/kl
going to make an ANA card and credit everything there from now.
Any chance theyll let me cancel the outbound leg so I can recredit?

At the moment I would be more concerned about HKG airport closure, if you haven't arrived yet?
