Looking for a FFP which would give me 100% miles for a Lufthansa round trip BOM-YYZ

I just booked a Lufthansa RETURN flight from Mumbai-Toronto, and then registered for Lufthansa's FFP, as I've never had a FFP before. I thought that as I was flying Lufthansa and registering to their own FFP, I'd get a lot of miles, but they just told me I'll get 5,000 miles, which is 25% of the total miles flown.

I know it depends on something called booking class, but I have no clue how to find the booking class of my flight, can someone help me? I have my e-ticket in the email.

Also, as I've not flown the flight yet, but only entered the FFP in the expedia website and it allows me to change the FFP, can I change it to some FFP which would credit me 100% miles for this trip?

But firstly, is there any FFP which would give me 100% miles for this trip?

Edit: It's L booking class

If the booking class doesn't accrue 100% on the FFP of the actual airline you're flying, I doubt you'd find another airline that will credit more....

also, rather than asking such a broad question that requires knowledge of every single FFP earn rates per class, here's the way you can do the work yourself.

If you go to the individual website of each FFP for *A airlines (as you're flying , you'll find a section that details what the earn rates are for each booking class. If you were asking about 1 or 2 airlines, I'd be happy to look it up. But a blanket question asking about ALL FFPs is a bit too much. You can do that work yourself
