We have a fairly complex itinerary coming up in June, mostly SK and AC but ticketed by LH because they’re the only airline to be able to get all the flights on one itinerary.
First segment is 13-June-2024 UME-ARN, SK27 but ticketed as LH6261.
Yesterday LH emailed to say this flight had been cancelled. Checked with SK and it hasn’t. Cue long and painful back and forth with four different LH agents, who could neither see the flight nor rebook me on the earlier flight on the same day, SK2023 which was still available to new purchases as LH6267.
LH finally rebuilt the itinerary with an SK flight number. The agent wrote back:
Okay. The flight LH6261 is a shared flight between Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines. The shared flight is cancelled but the flight itself is operating. I can put the flight back with Scandinavian flight numbers instead as follows:
Are LH codeshares starting to be scrubbed from SK flights? If this is a rolling process starting in the summer, maybe I can expect my return leg of the same booking to get the same treatment later.
