Thanks for sharing the scoop, Dirk. As you describe it, the procedure makes absolute sense. I guess if everybody shows up, LH will have to juggle around and see who gets the LH systemwide F ticket (I understand thats the standard compensation).</font>
LH's yield management works pretty good, much better than UA's for example, so I think they have a firm guess if they can sell additional seats in F (my guess e.g. is, that they will assume all award and nearly all upgraded ticket holders will show up, whereas payed tix (especially if booked far in adavnce) have a certain percentage of no shows.
