First off - thanks for the info.
There are 2 of us traveling together, does that change the calculus of where to sit? Both row 1 and 2 are wide open right now [except for us]
Cheers

Row 1 is closer to the lav and the bar, some find that disturbing. Therefore for many 1F is the best seat in the first row. Some complain that row catches to much light and noise from the C cabin, especially when cabin crew steps through the curtain.
I personally only care about not being seated in the middle row seats.

just look up the exact fare used to calculate your ticket on eitr.amadeusasia.com and post it here, we'll be happy to look it up with our tools 
Sad the call center agent can't read you the exact fare rules... during normal office hours the LH USA number comes out in YPQ near Toronto. Those guys are pretty good...

is this what is required? as you can see the fare is very cheap and so i suspect it is a non refundable fare

Are you sure this is a regular booking done via LH-usa.com? The endorsement text itself indicates that refunds can only be done via the agent..... in any case its similar to the regular VHX... fare, just aprox 100$ cheaper. The regular fare is non refundable.

Collecting luggage ?
I am flying F, MIA-FRA-MUC today , I am planning to take a shower in the FCL in MUC when I arrive there.
Can anyone tell me what to do about my bags, do I need to collect them before I go to the lounge or pick them up after ?
As usual any help is very much appreciated .

This post by oliver2002 confirms any checked bags are kept in an area reserved for lost and found for a couple of hours if you don't show up to claim your bags immediately after landing. So you can go to the FCL before collecting your bags and pick them up later.

Hello,
Is there a way to check M&M award availability? I have ANA tool, but it shows award availability for all A* members, and I need M&M specifically, like some SQ flights that are not available to all A*. I have an empty Lufthansa M&M account, and it does not show any SQ flight even in economy, when ANA shows seats available. Is it because I have zero M&M miles?

I am a bit confused about earning M&M miles on United/Continental flights. The MM webite tells me that when travelling on the "W" fare I earn 50% miles on United flights and 100% on Continental flights. When I book a ticket on-line (it's a WAW-EWR route) the Continental webite offers me 100% miles even on flights operated on United metal, while United offers me 50% miles for the same flights.
Question: If I book this flight though continental will I get 100% miles as the www is telling me?

In *A, it's always the OPERATING Carrier of the Flight that counts for Mileage accrual, so M&M will give you 50% Mileage on Flights operated by UA, and 100% on Flights operated by CO.
Of course, that's always assuming the Flights actually book into W; CO's W Fare may map into a different booking Class when operated by someone else's Flight...

change booking class
Hi,
I have one flight in September from Muc to Sin. The booking classes are Q (to Sin) and W (to Muc).
Is there any possibility to change the W fare to Q or just to a higher class which gives me 1x the miles instead of the 0.5x?
Could LH to this? Or is it impossible?
Thanks

ignore what Continental says, that's specifically for CO Onepass members...
