• Possibly op-up the pax in the lesser cabin?
I'm curious about any typical scenarios, but the specific one coming up for me is 2 pax, one SEN in F and the other no status in PE. LJU-FRA-LAX. The feeder flight will land at an apron position, so there will be a car waiting. Would that prompt LH to seat the pax in Y closer to the front to deplane with the one in J more smoothly? Or do they not care?
One related point of curiosity: I have offered up vouchers for the companion to get upgraded, but those are waitlisted. What if we are both in a FCL or the FCT and the upgrade clears during that time? Will LH know that the pax getting upgraded is a visitor in a lounge and is not at the gate?
AFAIK it will only come into effect if there are IRROPS and the PAX need rebooked, trying to ensure both PAX end up on the same alternate flight(s).
If it meant op ups etc then people would not book 2 tickets in the same cabin if travelling together.
At a LH lounge they would know the PAX had entered a lounge, but since you do not scan out the lounge they will not know if they are still there. You may mention at the desk at the lounge. Normal practice, i think, would be that the new boarding pass will becwaiting at the gate. Not first, but my last y to c upgrade i saw my seat and boarding group change in the app. I was not in an LH lounge, it was airport 3rd party lounge, so i collected the new bp at the gate when i got there. Had I been in a LH lounge then i would have asked the lounge staff
