- How do you check which plane will be used? I have a flight beginning of May FRA-EZE in LH F on a 747-8 - How big is the chance the plane is going to be changed suddenly? I know I will get a 75% discount on the fare if I get downgraded to C, but I'm not interested into that - need the status miles...

thanks
Indeed, as Jaenks mentioned, it's not likely that LH would swap this ultra-long flight to an A359 as they need those frames on other routes, A333's could not make a direct flight from FRA to EZE and A343's are not economically profitable on ultra-long-haul flights.
