Having worked for an airline and loads with the RM teams across alliances, often times I find that they haven’t thought thru every circumstance and situation and more often than not, “losing the plot” is more or less completely down to human error. The filing is so poorly done that actually AI that asks - “Are you sure you want to do...?” - or picks up missed opportunities would do airlines all kinds of good... :-)

The J fares still seem to be bookable via OTA on google flights (BHX-BKK for £2400 in April-June, Sept, Nov).
However F fares are indeed dead in the water at the minute.

HKG seems to be the cheapest Business for 2 at £2167 https://www.google.com/flights?lite=...2*2.GBP.216662

If this is an advertised Sale, someone should complain to the Advertising Standards Authority. The systematic withdrawal of married A and P class availability for ex-UK departures is a flagrant breach of the ASA's requirement that a "significant" proportion of seats should be available at the advertised price.
https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online...Cfrom%E2%80%9D
https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online...Cfrom%E2%80%9D
In the past the ASA has applied a rule of thumb that 10% of the products or services advertised should usually be available at the "from" price based on the 2010 BIS Pricing Practices Guide. In 2016 the CTSI published new Guidance For Traders on Pricing Practices. This new guidance states that, when using “from”, advertisers must ensure that a significant proportion of the product or service is available at the lead in fare.
Whilst the current guidance no longer uses the 10% rule, and instead states that a significant proportion should be available, it offers no further guidance on what is considered a significant proportion, and the ASA will investigate this on a case by case basis.

I am getting a little bit worried.
The itinerary was ticketed and confirmed 4 days ago. I received a PNR. Was able to log it onto both LH and LX app, seems all good.
However I did not receive a payment confirmation. The fee does not appear on my CC's "pending" transactions. Basically, I didn't pay for these tickets.
Is this anything to worry about? Should I contact the OTA now or does this risk compromising this possibly unintended flash sale fare??!?
This is the first time this happens to me. Usually I'm debited immediately.

I think it likely you'll be totally fine.

I'm seeing LX F to Ho Chi Minh City and Phuket from EDI. Can't find any LH F. Choosing begger, I know, but if I'm doing such convoluted routing for where I actually want to go this year (not the UK, Vietnam or Thailand), I want some time in the FRA F terminal. 
Many dates throughout the spring-fall. This one routes through BKK outbound, HKG inbound.

Nothing to do with this sale but I purchased a ticket on 1st January and my payment was not on my CC pending or transactions over a week later. I just looked and its there now and it appears as 1st Jan on my statement, strange!
