Upgrades on Lufthansa may not be confirmed in advance and are on standby basis only. You must present the paper certificate when checking in for your Lufthansa flight. Paper certificates may not be used on the following booking classes: X/I/R/N/E/S/W systemwide.Note that booking classes L and T are also not valid for upgrades when flying within Europe.
