Platinum mileage plus member flying LH question
I am a platinum member on United. Thinking about taking the Lufthansa flight from FRA to MIA. It is an Airbus 380. On LH I will be a star alliance gold. Do I get premier economy seat?

Wrong forum for this.
But short answer is no. Their premium econ is a true premium product, which means you will have to pay for the upgrade if you are booking from LH. Depending on your fare class you may be able to get seat selection in reg econ, but may have to call in if booking on codeshare.

i am 1k and was unexpectedly upgraded 2 weeks ago to an unrequested biz from FRA to Washington. Plane was a 777, so maybe full and they needed an extra econ seat to sell.

I'm not sure what premier economy seat OP is referring to. May be he/she is talking about the economy seats such as exit or bulkhead row seats that are usually blocked for Miles/More members. In my experience, it varies. Sometimes I could get those seats ahead of time, sometimes not.

LH has no Premium Economy Seat (cabin).

No premium economy cabin, except for this: http://www.lufthansa.com/us/en/premium-economy-class so it will all depend on when OP is flying
