LX AMS-ZRH-LHR in C for €179
If there's people looking for a cheap way to gain some *A miles, I just booked:
LX AMS-ZRH-LHR for €179 (one way) during mid DEC. Added a BA flight back home for €37 to it.
Gains 1600 miles (just what I needed), but if you need more you could book a return for around €280. Be aware not to book into Lufthansa P - that doesn't earn anything with some FFP.

A3 for instance: 100% with LX, 0% with LH.

Until LH decides to phase out all the other "Lufthansa group" brands and brand everything as LH, there is no reason for any partners to discontinue the long-standing practice of awarding miles differently for airlines that otherwise share the same or a similar fare structure.
This situation may appear "anomalous" to fresh eyes - particularly as it involves the non-awarding of miles for paid business class - but it has persisted for a long time now and is intentional. As such, there is no reason to see this perception as being, by itself, reason enough for all partners to change all their tables and remove all disparities between the earning rates for LH, LX, OS, SN, etc...

You can book a return in D for 594 EUR (same day) or 624 EUR.
For M&M FTL, SEN and HON it will then net you 10k miles.
I suppose cheaper options may exist, but nevertheless perhaps an interesting option for the odd status runner.

The LH group is not directly responsible for setting the earning rates for all their various fare classes in each of the various Star Alliance programmes.
