1. When I checkin, do I need to checking with UA and LH separately?
2. Are there still issues with getting seat assignments on a 016 LH flight (v fare)? The website gives an option to choose seats but doesnt work. Haven't had enough time waiting on hold to talk to anyone yet.
3. Can I check my bag (interline) through to FRA? Not a big deal as my bag may be small enough to carry
4. Will I need to get my bag anyways when I get to MUC going through customs? Does GE get me anything over there?
5. Will I be able to use a *A lounge in MUC? Assuming a LH lounge and I assume yes since I am *G. Any recc on which one? I have over 2hrs so I think I'll have some spare time.
6. Any tips for connecting to my domestic flight? I've never been to that airport
(In case you are wondering, I didn't book directly to FRA because of I wanted to use a GPU and that's the only flight I found R, I'll be taking the train back to MUC and flying back to the US from there)
1. You should be able to, but you may need to reprint a BP in MUC. I would try to do on-line check in for your MUC-FRA flight.
2. If you are in a higher Y fare class, you can select seats (Y, B and maybe M), if not, check 24 hrs before the flight to try and get a decent seat. On-line seat selection has been a mess with LH for the last couple months - you might want to head over to the LH forum for additional tips.
3. Yes - and (4.) you don't need to pick it up in MUC.
5. *G will get you into the SEN lounge. I would use that one.
6. You may get a tarmac position, but that is less likely at MUC than at FRA. Just follow the signs to clear immigration. MUC is a very easy airport to connect through.
