UA irrop, booked to LH
Hello....
First, let me express and a gratitude for your help with this question.
I am currently booked on SK94 for next week, in Plus. Does anyone know if an irrop were to occur and I was booked or a LH flight from Chicago to Frankfurt if I would also be booked into LH's new Premium economy product, or Y? Thank you.

Thank you. I would be originating out of MCI with UA, so getting to either IAD or EWR is tricky.

However you need to be very careful here as the SK booking classes for Plus will mean economy on LH metal. So, if the agent doesn't pay attention and rebooks Y on SK to Y on LH you might end up in economy.

UA will deliver you to ORD and not touch the ticket. Once in ORD you will have to make your way to T5 from T1 and beg at the SAS counter there. SAS will insist you contact United since they messed up your arrival into ORD. Problem is there is no United counter in T5. So after sometime SAS will look into what they can do. *A partners can rebook misconnects/irreg onto each other without prior verification, so SAS will and can look for alternatives on LH/UA/SK.
