Basics about the evoucher:
Number of eVouchers needed per segment:
- Upgrade a shorthaul segment = 1 eVoucher
- Upgrade a longhaul segment (Longhaul= LH400-799)
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Business Class = 3 eVouchers
- From Economy Class (other than K, L, T) to Premium Economy Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Economy Class K, L, T to Premium Economy Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Premium Economy G, E to Business Class = 1 eVoucher
- From Premium Economy N to Business Class = 2 eVouchers
- From Business Class to First Class = 2 eVouchers (although the website says 3 eVouchers, it will be corrected in due course)
Upgrade awards may be booked online with LH, OS, LX, SN, LO and Discover, or you can call to upgrade.
Alternatively, you can book at the check-in counter. Not all airlines offer immediate upgrades at the airport.
Evouchers can be used on any ticketed PNR, even if the flight operates after the date of expiry of the evoucher.
Evouchers can be redeemed with all Star Alliance partners - depending on the destination, airline, travel class and booking class.
For a list of award regions go to https://www.miles-and-more.com/row/e...formation.html and scroll down to select Your worldwide flight destinations with Miles & More.
How long do eVouchers remain valid?
- All eVouchers are valid for 24 months.
- none of your eVouchers will expire until 31.03.2024. This also applies to eVouchers that were re-credited after the cancellation of a flight.
With an eVoucher, you travel one class higher [link to general eVoucher information]

Hello everybody,
I've used (called M&M yesterday and asked to be moved from C->F to be precise) 2 eVouchers for my today's flight. The M&M lady said that the request may go through up till 10hrs before departure and I'll receive confirmation or I could be put on the waitlist and everything is going to clear out at the airport. I also know that the flight is fully booked in C and had 4 seats empty in F just yesterday. So now two questions pop into my mind:
1. My e-boarding pass says that I'm on a waitlist (but also says "First") and there is no info there about my original reservation in C. Although I'd really like to fly F I'm a bit worried that being on a "waitlist" puts me in a unpleasant position where I'm not assigned anywhere and will be the first person they are going to ask to take another flight when the flight is overbooked. I would really not like that and much rather call the whole evoucher thing off than risk not flying my planned itinerary (WAW-FRA-(LH572)-JNB).
2. There is an asterisk next to the "waitlist" mark that explains that everything is going to be decided 40mins before the flight, at the gate. Keeping in mind that I have a boarding pass that says "First" can I enter the FCL or FCT before that? I have 2hr layover and would really appreciate that.

2. If your boarding pass says "First" then you have cleared into First and you can certainly enter the FCL or FCT- given your routing I would recommend the FCL B. If your boarding pass does not say "First" you cannot enter the FCL/FCT unless you have a HON circle card in which case you are eligible in any circumstance.
3. If there are still 4 seats open in F my bet is your wait list will clear although it may be at the last minute.

My departure gate is supposed to be Z66.This would be my first opportunity to visit FCL/FCT and I'm looking forward to two things:
1. The Duck,
2. limo ride/last minute boarding.
As I understand the first can be obtained in both FCLs and FCT, isn't the 2nd only a FCT thing?

I have never seen a limo at either place- the vehicles that drive you to the plane are either Mercedes S Class, Porsche, or Mercedes Van. If there is a limousine it is well hidden.
A duck you can get in either place. I don't think they are all that interesting- if you go to alibaba.com you can probably buy 500 for less than the cost of your upgrade.

Guys - thanks for your help. Just a few words of update on how it went -> I called M&M and asked them how is the upgrade going, they told me that it went through, to which I replied that I'm still getting "waiting list" boarding card from OLCI which they couldn't fix. Later that day, staff @ WAW checkin was unable to figure out the waitlist thing and told me that it's going to be worked out in FRA. In FRA I was persistently pointed by the transfer desk staff in the direction of my departure gate Z66 which thanks to you guys I wisely ignored and went straight to FCL B which was just couple of steps from my arrival gate. FCL B staff confirmed that I get my F seat and told me that there was some weird glitch that even though my F seat was confirmed it caused boarding passes to print out incorrectly. Something which they fortunately were able to figure out and brought me my new pass for 1K.
The experience was fantastic, I hope I can do it again some day. Oh and btw - by a limo I meant Porsche/S-class, nothing "fancier". Ended up in a Vito with 3 other passengers anyway
but the last minute boarding is awesome. Same level of awesome as the whole on-board experience.
