T fares are also excluded on Intra-Europe flights.

The front also lists L now.. everything else seems to be the same.
United changed the rules about SWU upgrades on Lufthansa today:

3) Eligible flights on Lufthansa

The following Lufthansa tickets are not eligible for a Systemwide Upgrade:

•Tickets in booking codes X, I, R, N, W, S, L, K,T and E

K is now listed as not upgradeable.

I wonder what will the do with the already issued certificates on K Lufthansa flights (K fare is not eligible for earning miles as well).

These changes were posted on ual.com, but not announced as far as I know -- sneaky -- not acceptable.
