The Miles & More website is actually linked to Lufthansa website and LH and LX systems don't talk to each other. If you want to make sure you have the seat LX has assigned for you, retrieve your award booking on www.swiss.com by logging in with your M&M number and you should be able to see your seat.

Hi everybody,
I will fly to NY for my job from Jun 19 to July 4/5th.
I am LH SEN, with 350K miles and the 2 eVouchers, I am looking for the most interesting way of flying my friend from Lux to NY on Fri, June 27th and spend there some days with me.
It would be best to have the premium economy class for the outward flight and business class for the return.
I have the Japanese ANA card if that helps in the search for flight tickets.
Can you please point me in the right direction with the search?
I travel for my job, but not that requently, that is I am NOT gonna put together another 100K miles during 2014.

Award flight
Many thanks for the quick response I have followed your instructions and by logging into the LX website under my Miles and More number the correct seats on 3 of the 4 sectors are shown but the remaining long haul sector says no seat has been selected but my contact at Swiss confirms that it has Do I need to worry or are glitches like this common?

Hi, I'm flying a Lufthansa A343 EWR-DUS with the new business class seats in a few weeks with my teenage son. Does anyone know if the bulkhead seats are better or worse for sleeping or have any more legroom?

Strike question
I am booked on a flight from ATL to BCN via FRA on Lufthansa May 6th. Booked using US air points. If there is another strike, who do I contact for different flight since US air is no longer partners with Lufthansa. We are cruising from Barcelona so I am a bit nervous. Thanks

If you are arriving in business class on a LH flight you get access to the DUS lounge. http://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Arrival-Services
The Germanwings boarding pass and *G will not get you access to the lounge in DUS.

Converging travel+hotel points
Is there an easy way to pool together all my travel (Chase Ultimate) and hotel (Hilton, Barclay) points together and use them for a Lufthansa (or other airline) flight to Germany?
Looking to do a Washington DC to Munich, Germany.
I've seen flights go for under $900 roundtrip on CheapOAir
Thanks for all the newbie help!!

SN through check-in on different tickets
Hi
I've booked BRU-IAD on SN in J.
I will be flying that morning LHR-BRU on a separate reservation in Y.
How likely is it that SN will check my bags all the way through to IAD? And is there any hope of getting lounge access in LHR on the basis of my onward itinerary in J?
Thanks!

Just show them your boarding passes and ask you bag to be labeled to IAD, shouldn't be a problem.... the lounge access in LHR, forget it.

Chase UR points convert to United MP miles 1:1, Hilton 10:1. Look for awards from IAD to MUC on united.com (doesn't require signup), then open a United Mileage Plus account (if you don't have one already), move the points over to United and book the ticket. Pay the taxes with your Barclay card and use the points there to remove charge from your account.

LH Frankfurt Arrivals Lounge
I am travelling LH for the first time from Florida to Edinburgh via Frankfurt with my 8 year old. We have 5 hours in Frankfurt. Does anyone have any experience of the Arrivals Lounge v the general lounge for an early morning arrival and many hours to waste. Has anyone done the Tour of the airport?
Is the breakfast available in the AL better than any offerings in the LH lounges airside. And the showers? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going through security to get to the AL rather than staying airside?
