Hello
can I please request loads for:
19 SEP 2019 SFO to MUC on LH 459
30 SEP 2019 MUC to SFO on LH 458
I’m trying to see what my chances are of being able to redeem UA miles for business seat. Or buying revenue ticket and using United GPU upgrade certificates to get business seat. Thanks!

As Economy and Premium are all zeros can I make a reasonable conclusion the flight is either full or oversold?
I have put myself in seat 1D for the LHR-FRA sector and plan to run like a cheetah to reach the above flight gate for LH772 to Bangkok before the gate closes so I can at least hope for “denied boarding” over “missed connection due to x/y/z” especially with the weather we have been having recently, many of which won’t qualify for EU261.
The last few days haven't filled me with confidence with the LHR inbounds landing in the Z area and my connection in the B area with almost every LHR-FRA flight being delayed significantly..

As a LH Senator I cannot find a business award seat on either of these flights.

Thank you - I’m booked in Premium on this flight (connecting from a LHR flight in Business if that matters).

LH917 tomorrow is still showing ANS bus gate as the arrival gate. For departures from a B gate you will have to clear transfer security whichever gate you arrive unless they make special arrangements for passengers from clean countries such as the UK as reported elsewhere in this forum. Economy might be oversold but LH is selling a few more seats in Business and Premium Economy.

Thanks for the reply - hopefully will still make the connection. I’ve downloaded the FRA and Lufthansa apps so will hopefully be able to find my way from arriving to departing gate fairly swiftly. The flights either side of my LHR flight have gates assigned but of course with a tight connection I should have known I would end up at a bus gate!

Currently overnighting at Frankfurt.
Was auto rebooked onto Qatar economy around 4pm but managed to amend to the SQ Premium Economy (my original booking class) connecting on CX Premium Economy with a 6 hour hold in SIN. Will make the most of it and enter Singapore for a few hours.
Overall FRA was pretty much chaos today. Never seen so many people in the rebooking line. Luckily I had Star Gold which helped but even then the whole thing took over an hour. The “regular” queues were going on longer than I’ve ever seen but to be fair the LH ground staff were working flat out in my opinion.
Wide awake in my hotel at 3am, will hopefully get some sleep before my lunchtime departure.

I guess LH772 to BKK didn't turn out to be oversold last night....this is a good example of why flights that are fully booked and even oversold often depart with empty seats at the end of day.
Sorry for tacky comments which is not going to help you. Anyway, thank you for reporting back and enjoy your SQ Prem. Eco flight later today.

The problem is that the two bags on SQ325 arrive into Singapore several hours after after I’ve already departed on my flight to Bangkok so I know for sure it won’t make that flight.
I would understand it if it was a rushed transfer but I was overnight in Frankfurt for over 12 hours so there was plenty of time to make sure the bags made it onto the correct flight (the one I boarded).
Anyway, rant over, I need to sleep.
