We-care is gonna get a letter from both of us if I have to listen to her about not getting upgraded.
Uh oh!! Sounds like your mom is going to be upset if this did not go through!!

Well, the waitlist does expire at 24 hours prior to flight. Then, at check-in, she should automatically appear on upgrade standby. In your mom's case, that LH sector is spoiling it. Technically she will be checked-in when she checks-in with LH. However, tell her to make sure at MUC with CO whether she is on the u/g standby.
Pl keep us posted!
