I have spoken with at least 20 Lufthansa representatives in reservations, customer service, and baggage and I just keep getting different responses. The situation is as follows:

1) My husband is flying on Lufthansa in business class from JFK to PEE (yes, someone who does not speak English must have come up with this code for Perm, Russia).

2) He needs to bring as much luggage as possible because his grandfather is turning 100. Between the medical supplies he needs to bring and the presents we want to bring - it adds up.

3) My husband has status on AA only - no UA status.


So, my questions are:

1) Does he get any additional baggage allowance for flying business class?

2) Is there any way to quickly attain United status (within one week or so) that would allow him to bring extra baggage?

PS - I tried posting on the Lufthansa Board already but got no definitive answer.


Anyone?
