LH F no longer available for booking?
Hi guys,

I recently did some research using the ANA tool and found LH F availability departing within the next ~10 days from cities like ICN, MCO, YYZ etc, and every time the ANA tool shows availability, but the Lifemiles tool doesn't!

I tried switching from Multiple carriers, to star alliance carriers, as well as only LH, but it never shows ANY F class availability.

For some ICN for example, ANA is showing a 6/7 days a week as F being available, whereas LF shows 0.

Is this a glitch, or has LH also now stopped star parter F rewards at T-15 (or was it T-10)?

Thanks

It would appear that LH has recently started blocking LH F awards to Life Miles.

Or perhaps AV is blocking LH F redemptions to reduce costs. That seems more likely, as I doubt LH cares whether it's an NH, UA, or LM redemption, so long as LH gets paid.

Its a shame really.... LF was the easiest (and quickest) way to book LH F, especially with the buy mile promotions...

Now im sitting on a bunch of LifeMiles.. was planning on a last LH F jaunt before it gets more expensive in Oct, what other options should I consider?

Thanks

That was my thought before oliver2002 posted this in a related thread.

Interesting, thanks.

Guess we're just left to speculate why.

There are just a handfull LH F connecting flights left to be bookable with LM (no PM please, I won't reveal them)...

So I am assuming that LM pulled the plug and don't offer LH F anymore...
