Basics about the evoucher:
Number of eVouchers needed per segment:
- Upgrade a shorthaul segment = 1 eVoucher
- Upgrade a longhaul segment (Longhaul= LH400-799)
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Business Class = 3 eVouchers
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Premium Economy Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Premium Economy Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Premium Economy G, E to Business Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Premium Economy N to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Business Class to First Class = 2 eVouchers (although the website says 3 eVouchers, it will be corrected in due course)
Upgrade awards may be booked online with LH, OS, LX, SN, LO and Discover, or you can call to upgrade.
Alternatively, you can book at the check-in counter. Not all airlines offer immediate upgrades at the airport.
Evouchers can be used on any ticketed PNR, even if the flight operates after the date of expiry of the evoucher.
Evouchers can be redeemed with all Star Alliance partners - depending on the destination, airline, travel class and booking class.
For a list of award regions go to https://www.miles-and-more.com/row/e...formation.html and scroll down to select Your worldwide flight destinations with Miles & More.
How long do eVouchers remain valid?
- All eVouchers are valid for 24 months.
- none of your eVouchers will expire until 31.03.2024. This also applies to eVouchers that were re-credited after the cancellation of a flight.
With an eVoucher, you travel one class higher [link to general eVoucher information]

Need to book the parents on the FRA-SIN route in C but at the same time use some of their eVouchers to move them up to F.
What is the best way to ensure that the upgrade to F will even be possible?
P.S. FWIW there is no M&M award availability for flight awards in C/F during those dates, not sure if this also means they will reject eVoucher upgrades?

I mean in terms of availability. Booking C in an upgradeable booking class won't do me much good if the airline won't open up any seats for upgrades?
Or are eVouchers guaranteed to be accepted if there are unsold seats in F regardless of how many are left?

Let me put a suitable date on the table to make things easier.
If I were to book two C seats on December 20 on the FRA-SIN route, would I be able to use eVouchers to move both pax to F?

Looking at availability and seat map (which is not a perfect indicator) I would say that it is tight to get two people confirmed.

Thanks. Are you checking that in EF? There are very few F seats on the A380 anyway, and no availability for regular miles awards has me thinking that eVouchers might be met with similar luck.
If eVouchers don't go through but there is availability in F come check-in time, can those vouchers then be used successfully to get a last-minute upgrade or will the plane fly with empty seats in F?

Edit: EF shows F2 A2 on that day with three seats taken.
The SQ flight looks a bit more promising, I'd give M&M and see if they got access to first class seats there to upgrade.

Thanks, Lack. I'll have to skip SQ as I need to book them on the WAW-???-SIN route and unfortunately SQ won't sell tickets to/from WAW online.
Does the FRA-SIN flight on Dec 21 look any better or are a couple of F seats already taken as well? How about the return on Jan 3, does it look like I could burn some eVouchers there or does the 2 or 4 seem better?

I went ahead and booked the flights as the dates were pretty much, emmm... fixed in stone so to speak.
On the upside the upgrade system is quite good - the interface is well-designed and everything works perfectly.
I was not able to secure them an upgrade on the outbound, but as some have suggested I will try within 24 hrs of departure (and if necessary have them try at the airport as well). I was able to secure upgrades on the inbound though, up from C to F, so positive news here. 4 vouchers burned and F on the A380 should be nice.

Be informed that SQ does not allow upgrades to F at the airport as they need to be informed at least 24h in advance. At least that's what I've been told when I tried to burn e-vouchers on ZRH-SIN from Biz to First. I asked before my feeder flight to ZRH at MUC airport.
