Thanks guys,

Just that had a bad experience with LOT (checked in at OS counter) last month where upon check-in, was told i get 2 free check in luggage. I thought i only get 1 free with LOT (which I was right). So told my friend to just check-in 1 of his hand carry as he had 2.

Then got paged at lounge in VIE that i have to pay for the 2nd luggage i think 85 euros total at the service desk or else i wouldnt be allowed to board. That's why i prefer to have this fixed prior to airport. Anyways this is a different story.

Anyways indeed, my original ticket (LH stock/LX operated) was economy classic for the upgraded flight (with 1 free checked baggage + the usual gold bennies as per original ticket rules). When I got the upgrade it became LX stock.

I just called LH as it was their stock originally and they told me if everything else fails, just purchase the luggage fee and do a charge back with CC.

Did send all documents to swiss as i called them again and hoping for the best.
