Hi all. I have Y awards in late Jul FRA-ZRH//ZRH-CPH issued by AirNZ (where I am *G). Same day but separate tix with 7 hours gap.

I see from FT that it is normal that all seats show as chargeable at this time. Unlike OS and LO bookings I have were my *G status is recognised in the system (at least with notes on additional luggage), it appears LX is less generous.

Q1. Seems that I should just wait until OLCI opens, and anticipate that I’ll be auto-assigned a seat that won’t be lousy?

Q2. Also, can I hope LX will check bags at FRA through to CPH despite the separate tickets? I really don't care but it is one less thing to do….
