Flying SEN with FTL Status
Hi,
i booked 2 ticket in Jan this year flying with LH to from FRA to SIN. At this point in time I was SEN and the tickets are issued on my SEN Credit Card.
I assume that the tickets are then marked as the SEN, so do I gain all SEN previliges? I bought and paid the tickets at the point in time I was SEN. Thanks.

If you do not have SEN status at the time of your flights you will not have the SEN benefits. Your boarding pass will state your current status regardless of how the tickets were paid.

I booked many LX awards just before good old TC terminated. On each boarding pass since, there is still TCGM marked and not SEN. (makes me kind of happy
Even both status being equivalent, I wonder if the PNR does not contain the status of the time of issuing the ticket and therefore prints this on the boarding pass.
This being without any value as lounges always require to see the valid SEN card for entry. (The sometimes wrong information on the boarding passes might be the reason for this).

It works the other way round. If you book a ticket as FTL and get upgraded to SEN in the meantime you are - of course - entitled to all SEN benefits. The check-in agent changes the status manually.
Why should you keep your benefits when you lost your status?
