Consistency seems to run against LH more recent business models.
What sense does such an embargo on certain faires make, if it is not advertised as such. Hard to influence the customers by not giving them a hint.

This is why I perceive such LH regulations which are a) not published and b) not followed as ... well ... of spiritual value.

.. I'd have tried all possible cheats and ticks and lies and resorted to physical violence before giving back that BP.Tried at the gate, but unfortunately the same girl from check-in was there.
At least got SWU-upped on the flight back. SEN next to me was greeted and reserved his choice of meal. Me, 1K on the BP and SEN card in the wallet: "Sorry Sir, we only have the prawns now". Again, much too indifferent about LH C food by now to give it a though. Just put myself to rest on the slide and tried to sleep

The very same 1K->SEN killed my E+ seat (on a full fare coach btw) from HKG to SIN, when the little lounge tart claimed that I am not a 1K when crediting to M&M.
I believe that sterile zones in airports are predominantly installed to protect evil employees from enraged customers

I strongly doubt any relationship between fare class and likelyhood for an op-up.
I just returned from a free flight (FRA-PHL), paid for with miles, and both my girl friend and I got bumped up to C even though she doesn't have any status at all with LH.
Maybe they're planning to implent this but it's certainly not implemented yet.

) and hence should be non-eligible for an op-up.Yet another myth chez Lufthansa.

Ultimatelly, I don't think this entire discussion matters that much. It's totally at LH discretion who they upgrade and when. All the "leaks" and information on this forum does not change that, even if it makes it easier to understand it.
