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,
I have a booking in Biz from MEX via FRA and I have contacted M&M to UPG to First against evouchers, but they told me that it was not possible.
I understood that you could always asked to be wait listed but I understand that I was wrong.
The flight is in 3 months time but there are, at least, 6 available seats available.
A few weeks before the flight, providing there are still seats available, it makes sense to call again or LH does not want to do upgrades to F against vouchers?
Thanks,

Does eVoucher upgrade space correspond pretty well with award space? And if so, is it normal that there's no F space whatsoever on transatlantic flights (e.g. FRA-NYC), even if the F cabin is completely empty on those flights (lh.com showing 8 seats available)? Does anyone have a guess as to what my chances would be of getting the upgrade if I were to book and waitlist on such a flight?

I highly doubt F class would be closed if no first class seats are sold. Unless they dont offer First class on that route but are using an aircraft with F class and giving it for C fares to SEN/HON

that was my point evouchers go into A class, whereas mileage upgrade goes into O class.

Oh that is super useful to know. Thank you!

I don't think it's as simple as A class availability, at least on LH. In the past the hotline has told me they can't even say for sure themselves if an upgrade will clear without trying to actually do it, and that not even award space is a guarantee. Or did I just get a bad agent and that information is wrong?
even if expertflyer shows A available it can be that the seats werent released as upgrade seats.

before I took advantage of the Valentines day special, I had an award ticket in first booked in O class. Then cancelled award and purchased the ticket and used evouchers which booked me into A class.
