Economy Plus on LH operated flight?
Hello,
Can United Mileage Plus members get Economy Plus seating on co-marketed UAL/LH flights operated by LH?
The backstory:I am planning on flying from SFO to Naples, IT using Mileage Plus miles. I have flown on LH through Munich and returned on UA through Frankfort. Since the Frankfort flight was operated by UA we could get Economy Plus that made all the difference in relative comfort. Unfortunately the connections to Naples from SFO through Frankfort have either very long (6-8 hours) or very short (45 minute) layovers. SFO-Munich layovers are reasonable but operated by LH. So ideally, it would be great if I could get Economy Plus seating through them. When I called UA, they put me on hold forever seeing if the LH flight from SFO to Munich had Economy Plus, which makes me think its possible. However, after waiting on hold for 25 minutes I never got an answer, so I thought I would check here. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Alan
