Really? Why can't we just use our "customer number" on LH, which is only 9 digits instead of 15 digits?

Air New Zealand has only 7 digits, and if you need more combinations, use letters like American Airlines!!!

Absolutely ridiculous.

The first 4 digits indicate the status level, so the actual number is 11 digits. I can never remember my passport number which is 9 digits but I can recite my SEN number in my sleep.
