I am currently booked in N and would like to upgrade to C. Space still wide open and could imagine that lower end bids would be accepted as well. Minimum bid is priced at 650 USD.

Also, does anyone know whether LH also allows upgrades at check-in/gate/on-board? Any difference in prices between those?
I am not familiar with SIN-FRA route, but check-in/gate upgrades to C are possible when there is availability. According to my experience on other routes, check-in upgrade is more expensive than the minimum bid.

Thanks for any insights people might have...
From my experience, it is always within the 72 hour window. This is consistent with the fact that, as you may cancel your offer until that window, LH will not upgrade you until your offer cannot be removed any longer.

Thanks for the input. I did read somewhere else as well that they mostly sell retail difference at check-in counters, depending on airline.

What about at the gate? Are airlines more "accommodating" to generate last-minute revenue by trying to fill the premium cabins?

What about on-board? I understand LX and OS pursers are empowered to do so but has this been applied to LH as well already?

LH only promotes airport/on board upgrade options to PE. Singapore is always sold out in business....

I really believe that Business Class will be half empty on my scheduled flight due to the arrival only on Christmas Eve. See below extract from EF:


I understand they may not be promoting upgrades to C but considering the low load, do you see any chance of me pro-actively asking for it at the check-in counter or even gate?

If not, do you find it likely that LH would accept a minimum bid due to the same load factor argument?

I've got an upcoming trip consisting of two flights within Germany (connection in FRA). Which baggage rules applies? The ones of the first upgraded leg (3x32 kg) or the ones of the second leg (eco so 2x23kg)?

My guess is the SIN FRA flight is well sold in C and PE.

Does upgrade bidding work on a flight operated by Condor?

Not in this form, DE has a different system, mostly cash only. You need to call in.

Any hope that Condor offers upgrades at the gate for Miles & More-miles?

Condor accepts M&M miles for upgrades but you need to call M&M 72h before departure.

Do I need to call them at least 72 hours before departure och do they start accepting Miles & More-miles upgrades for leftover seats 72 hours before departure?

So, my booking class was ineligible for an over-the-phone upgrade. Any chance for a gate upgrade for miles? If so, then I will make sure I have some spare miles on my Miles & More-account; otherwise I will spend it all on something else before my Condor-flight takes place.
