M&M mileage expiration question: LH is quoting expiration dates to me, but are those ticketing dates or travel dates? Also, is there any way to keep the miles alive with qualifying activity other than the credit card?
Thanks.....
Thanks.....

They cannot see anything other than your status at time of checkin. Only if you are a last minute upgrader (ie your seat change missed the manifest printout deadline and was reported in a correction sheet later) they know that you moved up for some reason.

It is the first time I receive more than 100% of the flown distance with a M&M partner who gives the executive bonus. I was surprised to see that the 25% executive bonus is calculated on the flown miles and not on the miles I receive for flying a certain booking class.
Is this correct?
I flew BKK-ZRH in F which earned me 16.854 miles + 1.405 executive bonus.

On intercontinental flights the bonus is worked out on the basis of the actual distance miles. On shorter flights it is based on the fixed mileage levels for a flight (minimum miles).

award space in F
hi everyone
i'm looking to upgrade a lufthansa business (D) ticket using krisflyer miles to first class, LH622 FRA-RUH on 8th June. What is strange is that we are within the 2 week window and despite the website telling me there are 4+ revenue seats still available no space has opened up at all. what is even stranger is that award space is not available to miles and more members either.
anyone know what is going on?

thanks. i guess what is strange is that apparently not a single seat is sold in the cabin. i can understand if there were only 1-2 seats left, but in this case it's like nothing is happening at all

Although a SEN, I feel sufficiently embarrassed to ask this question that I thought I should put it into the newbies lounge.
The baggage section on the LH website is ambiguous. We are going to Japan in F. I don't normally pay any attention to baggage allowance as I am usually on hand baggage intra-Europe, but this time Mrs Truffles wants to bring lots of stuff back. The LH website says "3 bags up to 32 kg". Is this for each bag, or in total (i.e. 96kg if we pack carefully)?

32kg per bag, so 96kg - in fact, when you're *G, it's one bag extra.. so, if you're both *G, travelling in F, feel free to bring 8 bags at 32kg each.. or a humble 256kg (plus two hand luggages per person, in case you coulnd't put everything in your quarter ton allowance 
)

LH +SAA
Hi,
I am SEN and not very sure about the rule in this case.
I will fly FRA-JNB. Down with LH and back with SAA. Ticket issued by LH. So, I understand that the SAA flight is under LH Flight code (LH9545). It is booked under D class at LH and shown as D on the reservation.
I am looking to optimise my miles. A LH D = 2X, while a SAA D = 1.5. I understand, that flying SAA, I wont get the Executive bonus of 25%.
Booking extract:
Departure airport : Johannesburg- (JNB)
Airline company name :Lufthansa
Flight informations LH9545
Cabin class Business (D)
So, what do I get, 1.5X or 2X?
Thanks a lot.
