How to book your long-haul upgrade at LH.com
Call up your travel itinerary under My Bookings. There will be an automatic check on which flights in your itinerary can be upgraded. Confirm your choice for the flights that you wish to upgrade. You can, of course, book upgrades for other flights at a later time (up to a maximum of 4 hours before departure). If you have sufficient award miles in your account and are logged into your LH.com profile, you can decide whether you want to pay for the upgrade with money or miles. Unfortunately, a combination of both means of payment is not possible in one booking procedure.
Finally, enter your payment information and confirm your purchase. A booking confirmation will be sent to the email address you have provided.
