LX is well-known to be even more stiffy about paying compensation (or informating the pax about it, for a starter) than their mother LH.. (not that other airlines are actually much better about it..)
You can expect that if they'll eventually pay out compensation (if any) that will be to a low single digit number of pax..

Unfortunately, some years ago, processes started and since then LX joined the race to the bottom. Their newest advertisement is just matching to it.. "cheese is a full meal"... (I hardly can wait for the next enhancement
)

The EU regulations have been lacking on enforcement.... and that's because it is done at a national level. And most nations don't care or protect the airlines.
Addaptations were proposed, but those have seem to gone the way of the dodo. So what we have now is something ridiculous.

It's not some much the law/regulations that are the problem (the EU has provided those, and they have been tested) but it's that each nation has to determine a local enforcement autority. And they either don't or pick an autority that is close to the airlines.
Leaving consumers little choice to have a fight on their hands or use some tacky middle men.

SWISS CEO Thomas Kluehr confirmed in the Handelszeitung that all LX longhaul will get WiFi and that the remaining A340 get an updated cabin similar to the 777. Not sure if Eco and Business gets changed or just First. The changes should happen over the next 2 years.
