Buying up to Biz class
Greetings.
I am anticipating a flight soon from Canada to Helsinki. I'm looking at a flight sequence of Air Canada to Frankfurt, then connecting on to LH to Helsinki.
I will likely be buying the ticket on AC, thereby the LH portion will be a codeshare on LH metal.
Is there a way, or has anyone insight, as to the possibility of paying to upgrade my Helsinki flight to Biz class. I have done this before on a single LH flight, but that ticket was bought on LH website.
Thanks

I wouldn't bother if I was you... the only thing you get for your buck is an empty seat next to you and a bit to eat... on a 2 hour flight that's barely worth the money... just eat up in the lounge and your good to go

As stated, same seat in Eco & Biz and overall no big difference there other than what has been highlighted already. Safe the $$$

The NEK seat Lufthansa now calls business is not worth more than 10 EURO extra and I am being generous with the 10. Uncompetitive product so do not waste your money on it.

You mean over the current coach NEK stoll right? Compared to an old coach cabin, the new NEK business product is worth a refund IMO, not a premium.

AB must be thanking the heavens for LH management not to mention the ME competitors.

Even though I have to admit that the only times I ever set foot (more like "planted behind") on an EK plane, the seats seemed to rip offs of "Tower of London" equipment.
