A bit buggy is an understatement.....There is a serious infestation going on right now and I hear nothing definitive from LH as to a fix or timetable to restore normalcy.

Or is there any reason 21 A C, H K, and 22 D G are always 'occupied'? I have yet to find any fight on any PE route that list these as available. All other seats are. Entered loads of diff dates/routes to check, and it's always like this.
I suppose moving to 23 A C would be the best. Don't quite get why there is no row 22 at each end, though! Any thoughts? (Differs from this original map from a while ago http://www.bangaloreaviation.com/wp-...-Map-Large.jpg )

Hadn't seen this before.....http://www.miles-and-more.com/online...en&cid=1000327
One e-voucher for eco to premium eco seems not that bad a deal, especially since it seems there is no minimum booking class. If K-class would work that would sure be a good option to get rid of some.

Yeah, that's not too bad.
However, I find the upgrade possibility from PY to C for one evoucher or reduced number of miles even more attractive. ^
As my company lets me fly PY (but not C), I will be able to upgrade with fewer evouchers or miles.

That's not exactly what the chart says... or is the assumption that for e-vouchers the same classes will apply as for the upgrade with miles?

That's how it works with Y->C upgrades, too, doesn't it? You can only upgrade using vouchers from the buckets that are upgradable with miles.

Yes, but if you look at the chart that is clearly mentioned. Not so for the Eco+ evoucher upgrades.
I have one eco flight booked where they already have upgraded me for free to eco+. But I will probably book another return when that would be the way to get rid of my e-vouchers. But not if I need the more exoensive booking classes.
Guess only way to know for sure is to call.... But you are probably right.

As an FYI: booked a flight to MEX in Dec and upgraded from W to Premium Eco (booking class N) with 1 evoucher. For the same flight I am on now waitlisted for an upgrade to Biz with another evoucher. Looks like in this case a 'double upgrade' seems possible.
This way, if Biz upgrade inventory is not open, but premium eco is, you'll at least get to sit in PE if the upgrade to C does not go through.
(Thanks to Oliver2002 for his guidance!)
