P on Lufthansa is a deeply discounted business fare.

That's probably why it was such a good price! Two-thirds that of QF/EK/SQ.

I have a QBR account and as many know, it actually shows QF fare buckets in the search engine (which the main QF search doesn’t - no one really knows why).

I can also search up-to to 9 PAX and assuming the fare for each PAX comes back the same for say “I” class, is it reasonable to assume that’s the same as “I9”? Similarly, if 8x are the same and the 9th is more expensive* then that’s probably “I8”? etc

So I’m wandering if this is free hack for those who don’t want to stump up for paid EF account because they only do the occasional search (yes, I know there’s a thread to ask about availability). Obviously only limited to QBR account users and QF metal.

*not sure if it shows a different fare class for the ninth - I haven’t seen it nor search that hard to force it but the search results show you the fare for each PAX, line by line.

MODS - not sure if this is the best place to ask but didn’t think it warranted a seperate thread and was more about a hack to avoid paying EF fees.
