Wifi in the air is never a guaranteed thing. I would absolutely prepare for Plan B in case you don't have a working Wifi onboard.

Payment Code "MS" on e-ticket
A colleague in Frankfurt has purchased an e-ticket from Lufthansa. When he prints the receipt, there is a cryptic code under Payment Details. For "Form of Payment" all that appears is the acronym "MS".
No one, including the Lufthansa reservations agent could tell him what it means.
But I'm sure that some FT'ers will clear up this mystery!

Baggage Allowance question -
whats the check in baggage allowance on Lufthansa flight from BLR to SFO
The website says 1x 23kg bag.
But the travel agent said its 2x23kg bags. The 1x bag is only if its code share with United airways.
Can anyone confirm, please.

Two bags each weighing up to 23 kg are permitted free of charge on the following routes:
Journeys starting in India and flying to the United States, Canada (4)
4= Applies only to routes via Europe. Applies to the whole journey regardless of stopovers.
So the travel agent is correct.

The normal baggage allowance for Economy is 1x 23kg bag. However, if you check this page on LH's website it's clearly stated:
Two bags each weighing up to 23 kg are permitted free of charge on the following routes:
Journeys starting in India and flying to the United States, Canada (4)
4= Applies only to routes via Europe. Applies to the whole journey regardless of stopovers.
So the travel agent is correct.

Even a friend who traveled from India to US, said it was 1bag.

I am looking into booking a round-trip BRU-TPA in August. Both LH and UA website come with the same price. However, all flights are UA-operated. Is there any advantage/disadvantage booking through one or the other channel? The travel will be in P.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Probably best to book through UA. Booking a codeshare might make it difficult to preselect your seats.

I'm trying to look a multi-destination Business class ticket from BOM-DFW-JFK-DEN-PNQ/BOM & not having much luck with getting any good deals. At times, I do not get any result at all. It looks like this is mainly because of inserting the DFW stop as it is a AA hub and looks like they do not have any good United flights from DFW to JFK or LGA. (I do not want to fly to EWR). If I remove DFW as a stop, then results do show up.
Any suggestions on what is the best way to include DFW in the itinerary? The only option I'm thinking of now is to fly from LGA(NY) to DFW after landing in JFK. E.g book my multi-destination trip from BOM-JFK-DEN-PNQ and then another ticket LGA-DFW-LGA before flying to DEN.
Not to mention, the only results I got (non Lufthansa flights & mostly BA or AA) were expensive. But with so many miles involved, I do not want to try another alliance as I'm not a member of any.

For such things you need a TA, who can easily add a stop and use AA flights as feeders and still apply the India-US fare for the entire trip. LH has a few interline agreements that allow AA/US as domestic feeders in DFW/MIA/CLT for example.

Are there any restrictions on number of connecting flights on TATL award ticket?
E.g. Am I allowed to book award LAX-MUC-FRA-VIE?
