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]

Same here! same route on LX, flights in January 2024, same result: eVoucher upgrade from PE to Business is only waitlist, whereas instant cash upgrades as well as bidding upgrades for these flights are readily available.

Return FRA SIN WL only cleared for him at the airport. They had 17 on the WL to C, he was the first on the list (SEN in Y(Q))

That's incorrect. It did change. I reported this last year. R is two vouchers.

You're better off booking W and above and using 2 eVouchers into C, especially as they so wisely got rid of shorthaul PE taking away that advantage they had over their competitors.

Everything except bona-fide M&M Europe:

Eco:
O/U/L 2 eVouchers to Premium, 3 to Business (per flight)
All other RBD, 1 to Premium, 2 to Business

Prem:

R 2 eVouchers to Business
A/P 1 eVoucher to Business

Europe flights:

1 eVoucher all RBD

Can M&M eVouchers only be applied to LX or LH ticket stock? What if it is UA stock?

Thank you!

evouchers can also be used on Eurowings Discover! But not for codeshare with LH-flight number!

Sorry, I just found the answer to the below on the LH website. Kept original question intact and added answer below in case it assists someone else.

We used e-vouchers to upgrade intra-EU flights. We just checked in and while we're seated in business class seats, our boarding pass says "Eco Classic" for the Class.

Will we have lounge access and a free baggage allowance without regard to status?


It seems we will have business lounge access and an additional carry-on bag, but our checked baggage allowance carries over from our original economy fare.

Thank you.

Yes you will have lounge access, and baggage allowance according to your original fare (this upgrade doesn't change your baggage allowance)
