Any recent experiences on LH488? The seat map on lufthansa.com shows rows 10-16 as "Premium" seats that cost more, configured as 2-4-2. OTOH, seat guru shows rows 10-16 in a 2-3-2.

Previously SJC was supposed to be seasonal, operating only in summer. This year they said it will be all year, this week that was revised.

Thank you for the heads up. Unfortunately, I have a trip booked for two from ZRH-FRA-SJC return over this coming Christmas/New Year. I was rebooked to SFO instead which isn't as convenient. If I were to fly to SFO, I would rather fly direct ZRH-SFO on LX. Is it possible to be rebooked to LX's flight in this instance? Am I entitled to any compensation as I really prefer SJC.

I’m booked on FRA-SJC in the summer 2019, so affected by this axe.
Have been rebooked on SFO but really doesn’t suit me for various reasons, organizing onward travel etc.
i know that being rebooked on BA’s SJC flight is probably not going to happen this far out, is there any way to somehow get rebooked onto BA?

well, you are entitled to a refund but like you, I’m more interested in arriving at SJC. BA would be a good solution but seems like they only rebook on Star Alliance this far out...

Just called Expedia Switzerland (ticket booked via them) and asked if it's possible to go ZRH-SFO direct on LX instead of via FRA on LH. They checked their policy and as it's changing the number of stops, they have to call LX. Unfortunately LX Switzerland apparently only provides email support to Expedia, not telephone support, and therefore they will send an email and they'll call me back. Very frustrating as I'm not sure if this will go into a black hole. I'll check back on Monday.

But given it's so far out, I totally understand why not an option
Next preference would be to fly ZRH-SFO direct on LX instead of going ZRH-FRA-SFO on LH. Is this possible?

in my case I booked the ex-Spain P class promo last week for €1382, so only way I am willing to refund and book BA is if they do a promo...maybe I’ll just keep this booking as it is and wait for next BA promo.
