Thx for the info finaly got the chance to change my LON-CHI in UA F to ZRH-YUL in LX...I really didn't want to pay for a F ticket and have to use United F (apparently no one thinks its F worthy)
On a side note on my last flight of my itn i´m on a ERJ 145,is there any way to choose seat 1A without paying the ELR fee,considering i´m on a Int F ticket?
I also arrive in ZRH from SPU on a Q400 does LX pick me up from the plane in a car or do they only deliver you to you plane in F?

Good luck. LX effectively blocks most US-ZRH F flights from *A partners. Though I do see a seat tomorrow night (Friday) as well as on JFK-ZRH. But I've also seen cases with plenty of F seats left on the day of departure and they don't open it up to partner awards, so it's not guaranteed even the day before.

Thank you thank you thank you.
Believe it or not, I was able to secure an LX *saver* one-way award in business coming back from ZRH. Sadly, it required a forced overnight in Boston, but beggars can't be choosers.

And for some reasons, the moderators don't seem to want to merge, despite requests via RBP.

a couple days ago search results produced a bunch of award seats on lx in y and some in c but upon clicking through they all came back with 'not available'
I suspect those were awards available to m&m but not *a - is it a common glitch? Expertflyer has this problem fo lx award searches.

AFAIK EF uses the LH system, so it's intended to see M&M availability rather than *A availability.

I have an LX award already booked, but wanted to change my two segments into one. It's in June -- should I continue looking each day or really wait until it's close?
