Swiss International Airlines - LX award availability

Folks,

I have a ticket to NYC in C in 2 weeks and have some spare points to burn and would like to upgrade to F

availability now looks

F3 A3 J9 C9 D9 Z9 P0 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 E9 L9 K2

do you think LX will open award inventory and in case when?

thanks

Are you planning to use M&M upgrade instruments (miles, evouchers) ? If yes and it stays this way you should be able to get the upgrade but maybe not until day of departure

IIRC LX books F upgrades into A class anyway, whereas F awards are booked into O. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is what I remember.

Correct

Correct

do not think it is correct... it opened 2 O seats and was able to upgrade otherwise no chances...

Hi Skyluke. The message as posted was correct. Upgrades with M&M miles and evouchers on LX use "A" space. When O is open, the correlation to A being open is very strong so seeing O open probably meant A was open as well. I processed an upgrade yesterday from D to A with LX- this is how it works AFAIK. OPUPS by the way usually process to F.

thanks... but this mean that in my return flight which at the moment shows
F2 A2 J2 C2 D2 Z0 P0 Y7 B7 M7 U7 H6 Q5 V3 W1 S0 T0 E0 L0 K0 I should be able to book an upgrade from D with miles... unfortunately when I call M&M they say there is no availability... shall I call swiss?

Ok... have to correct myself... you are right, Swiss books upgrades on A class but only if you call Swiss itself. If you call Miles and more they always look for O class availability. I have now two bookings with upgrades with miles one booked into O class and the other in A class ;-)

that's the beauty of full integration of Miles and more and *A ;-)

Skyluke- call Swiss in Rome or Milano and they will do it for you.

Exactly. And, sidenote: i think this Lack of knowledge by lh agents is the reason for my 100% upgrade score using Miles on lx :)
