Lounge access in FRA on separate connecting tickets and classes
Hello simple question:
I will be connecting in FRA on separate tickets. Ticket 1: JNB-FRA in J. Ticket 2: FRA-LHR in Y on the same day. Will I get lounge access in FRA on account of my longhaul J flight? I have no status.
Thanks in advance

If you don't have status your departing BP in Y won't give you access to any lounge. However, since you are on separate tickets I'm assuming you have allowed sufficient time before your connecting flight to allow you to visit the Welcome Lounge.

Just a silly question: there was a sticky M&M FAQ thread, if I remember correctly. Where did it go? I am looking for info on using evouchers on non-integrated airlines, and can't find anything on M&M website either

on ITA I see one price for 1-way 4U flight, but at any web search engine it is much higher (including 4U web itself). Where should I go for seach? thank you in advance. PM are welcome
Particularly, I need STR-MOW direct on Feb.29, 2012.
ITA says its 117.46 ai, but no one else says the same
P.S. For the way back I'd be happy to get AB DME-FRA March 2 for 3972RUB ai, but again nobody wants to sell it to me for this less.

can't find anything about evoucher usage on non-intengrated airlines though
*EDIT: it seems (unless there was an 'enhancement') that evouchers can be used for upgrades anywhere where the miles would work, too:
Miles for Upgrades
eVouchers and M&M miles can be easily used for upgrades. There is always discussion in this forum if it makes sense to spend miles for upgrades because upgrades are fairly expensive e.g. for a flight from Europe to the US in C you need 95k miles, to upgrade a flight in travel classes Y and B you need 70k miles and in the other economy travel classes even 100k miles! If you decide to upgrade using miles or eVoucher here is how it works:
For LH LO and OS:
paperless (eUpgrade eVoucher)
between 360 days and 3 hours prior to departure if no special meal request exists in PNR
between 360 days and 12:00 PM UTC of the day before departure if special meal request exists in PNR
if origin of segment or carrier is not eligible for paperless upgrades, records will be automatically sent for conversion into paper
booking time limits for paper award documents will apply
If necessary, customers shall be informed about a resulting fee
booking time limits for upgrades against miles are also valid for upgrades against eVoucher
NH:
between 28 days and 24 hours prior to departure
NZ:
between 28 days and 24 hours prior to departure
SK:
between 360 days and 24 hours prior to departure
SQ, OZ, TG, UA:
between 365 days and 24 hours prior to departure
LX:
between 360 days and 3 hours prior to departure if no special meal request exists in PNR
between 360 days and 12:00 PM UTC of the day before departure if special meal request exists in PNR
TP:
between 330 days and 24 hours prior to departure
Please note that not all booking classes are upgradable! You can upgrade anytime in the timeframe mentioned above for either out- and inbound or only only one direction. Upgrades can be requested even if some segments of your itinary have been flown already.

eVouchers can be used for *A upgrades using the tool on the M&M page, sadly its probably down right now due to the db migration.

Hi All
Newbie Star Alliance / lounge access question I hope you can help with.
Last weekend I flew BD LHR-DME in J and returned DME-LHR on UA in Y (as a BD codeshare).
I have an LH Sen (*G) card.
I was able to use the Star Alliance and BMI lounges on the outbound as I was travelling in J and also could have had access through my LH*G card had I so needed.
On the return, there was no time to worry about lounge access at DME as I arrived late, however I'm wondering whether I could have had access had time been available?
Although my booking was with BMI on a BD codeshare code, it was on UA metal and UA are not members of Star Alliance so I am suspecting not?
Thanks in advance

Ordinarily, as long as you are *G (which you are via Senator) and are flying on *A metal, then you have lounge access. In this case, you would have had lounge access as UA is not only a *A member, but one of the founders of *A.

m&m credit card in euro
hello folks,
very long time & large volume reader, but just registered cause never had a problem/question that was not already met with a solution and posted for the public here.
i cant seem to find the right topic atm though >.>
wanted to ask about the m&m credit cards in euro.
i only been having mine in pln for couple of years, happy with it, but since i moved i dont want to pay for the currency exchange, and want one billed in euro now. where i am now, in malta, they unfortunately dont offer m&m cc's, only their own slightly crappy from what i observe air malta one. (crappy as in expensive flights and low mileage) closest from here is italy, and on the m&m cc's website it says they have customer service in english, but initially i wanted to get the german one - it's fairly easy for me to visit berlin just in case, and i can read german, although i already brilliantly managed to forget how to speak it, so i'd need english customer service here too.
plus, when i tried to send them a form, there was some inconsistency with the bank id and account number they wanted me to provide for reference - i think they only accept german banks & accounts for reference. i sent them an email asking about it over a month ago and still have received no reply.
q1. does the german m&m credit card scheme allow non-german people to use these cards?
q2. does german m&m cc have an english customer service?
q3. does anyone here know about a m&m card that a non-national of that eurozone country could use?
i think the users in here and all their experience put together will be enough to answer these, me right now, i'm stuck :/ would be lovely if i could get some advice on that in here!
thanks in advance.

Welcome to FT, tenko!
I cannot answer your second question but there are several threads which might help to answer the other questions.
