Exclamation LH fare hike [merged]

To mark the change of management of LH Passage it seems someone decided to take the plunge and hike fares. In a way we saw it coming (absorbing the 45EUR OY tax couldn't have lasted etc), but still a surprise how early it came:

Code:
2/406: 06.04.11 Tariferhhungen bei Lufthansa

Hiermit mchten wir Sie darber informieren, dass Lufthansa im Rahmen einer weltweiten Preiserhhung ihre Flugpreise in Deutschland fr Verkufe und Flugscheinausstellungen ab dem 05.04.2011 (Nordamerika/Sdamerika ab 06.04.2011) erhht hat.
 

Die Preiserhhungen gelten fr Langstrecken Ziele wie folgt (Erhhung pro Roundtrip):
table
  	Economy Class
Buchungsklassen (V-Y) 	Business Class Buchungsklassen (D und Z) 	Gltig seit:
Afrika/Naher Osten 	+ 20  	+ 50  	05.04.2011
Asien 	+ 40  	+ 100  	05.04.2011
Nordamerika/
Sdamerkika 	+ 40  	+ 100  	06.04.2011
 

Ausgenommen sind Aktionstarife und die untersten Economy Buchungsklassen sowie Reisen innerhalb Europas.

Bei Rckfragen wenden Sie sich bitte an die Ihnen bekannten Ansprechpartner.

A new week - a new enhancement !
LH seems to be going the SQ route with the minor detail that they don't have the SQ product.

Thanks for the alert. The table is headed "Fare Hikes for Germany to Europe". Dare one hope that the hike won't apply to Intra-European trips originating outside Germany?

Well perhaps due to the reduction in the price of oil and the increase of the valuation of the EUR it is now a good time to match this fare increase with a fuel surcharge reduction?
