star alliance upgrades

Hi all!

i am trying to use a star alliance upgrade with my eurobonus points on a LH flights, eco B to business. the flight in in april and eurobonus says there already are no upgrade possible with points. anyone has experience on how or when the upgrade seats are released? what's the best time before a flight to ask for a point upgrade?

thanks

For a Star Alliance upgrade to be possible inventory in booking class I needs to be available. I is the normal award booking class. So if the flight is bookable in business for points, you can also process a Star Alliance upgrade.

I don't know if Lufthansa releases extra availability shortly before the flight if business class is lightly booked, maybe a question for the LH forum. But that will be your chance.
