For flights on flight level 130 over the Alps in Switzerland, SD issues the following warning:

Your journey passes through General Class C

The warning is incorrect. Flight level 130 is the border between airspace E und C, and as a result, flight level 130 belongs to the lower airspace class, i.e., airspace E. That is ICAO's standard (although it might be different in some countries).

(With MIL OFF, the issue concerns flight level 150. And the issue probably exists with other similar airspace limits too, for example for flight level 100 north of the Alps in Switzerland.)
