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]

As pointed out before, you can only upgrade award booking for cash at the airport, if any F seat is available.

Hi all,

I upgraded couple of intra Europe flights with evouchers and they now are shown as Business (I). Does this mean no award/status miles?

You will get award and status miles for the fares you paid for (economy class you bought).

Newbie eVoucher question. As a SEN, I have 4 eVouchers. Wondering about upgrading to F on a paid Z class LH or LX Business ticket. What F fare bucket needs to be available for me to upgrade? Just O seats or would A seats qualify?

Currently, so difficult to upgrade to F using Evouchers, many out there & not as much F .. used to be A on LX & thats like Hens teeth now, LH was always a mystery but O generally worked, of course you can book apply the Evouchers & cancel for free within 24 hours if the upgrades don't clear

LX are quite good if you call in to give you an indication

Re-qualifying each calendar year would give x eVouchers but when will they be added?

When I got a very helpful LX agent, they told me that LX never oversells F, and which my exact position was on the waitlist. With a week before departure, first on waitlist, and one seat still available in F, they estimated a 50/50 chance for the upgrade to clear.

Sure takes a while to get your eVouchers when you qualify each year then, that's a pity.

In addition to the fact that A is rare, I wonder whether it's the A class for "new bookings" or the A class for "changes to an existing booking". As we know (see other thread), LHG plays a nasty game and availability is not the same based on these new/existing concepts.
