Star Alliance upgrades on LH
I have just booked & paid for three return tickets ABZ-MEX in upgradeable classes Q & H.
However, I am now told that I cannot use Star Alliance miles to upgrade, only Miles and More.
Could you suggest a way around this - for instance can I transfer miles from my SAS Eurobonus account into Miles & more?
I would appreciate any suggestions
thanks

Indeed, SK's program only allows upgrades on LH from Y, B to Business .
On the other hand, using M&M, you can upgrade from other classes for more miles.
You cannot transfer miles from EB to M&M, at least not directly.

Q. Can I transfer miles or points between Star Alliance airline member programmes?
A. No. Once you have earned miles / points in one programme, you are not able to transfer that balance to another programme within the alliance. All programmes remain independent.
