Airlines policies keep changing, and I cannot really say how they compare. Some people report LX can be sometimes really difficult to accept responsibility. Plus, they are not EU airline, which may have certain consequences when you claim money for delays.

Hi! I've searched the forum and was unable to find exact answer...

I have around 250k miles that will expire on June 30th, 2022. So June 2023 is the latest date for which I can book flights (one year in advance from expiry deadline). The question is - Will I be able to in the future (e.g. in May 2023) to rebook my flights for a later date (e.g. September 2023 or even dates in 2024) or the end of June 2023 (one year in advance from the initial booking) will be the latest? Thanks for any suggestions.

P.S. These are miles from mileage pooling so my status won't help.

I think it's the date that the ticket was issued which counts. You can make changes for 1 year from that date

You're correct, this is from GTC of M&M program:

"2.2 Advance booking period and ticket validity
Your flight awards can be booked up to 361 days before the departure date required. Flight awards are valid up to twelve months from the date of issue."

Thanks for your help

Question: Are premium classes (Premium Economy & Business Class) on intercontinental LH routes really getting filled up? The fares are outrageously high. I understand that the demand for travel, oil prices & the geo political situation due to war are driving the prices but I'm seeing 3x to 5x times fares than normal.

I was trying to get out of the US because our UA direct flights to India were canceled - and LH ex-EWR were quite full - obviously.

However, all UA flights seem to be going pretty full to other TATL destinations, so there is most definitely a large rise in travel...

In fact, UA GS members (ala HON) suddenly came out of the woodwork in March - and were populating the waitlists in droves...

All my LH flights EWR-FRA-MUC-DEL were very full... (and the EWR-MUC later flight was full as well - lots of US Army Reservists were unable to board that flight)

Hello,
I'm looking at the flight PRG->WAW->ICN via LOT in business and they offer business semi flex and business full flex fares which are supposedly F and D class respectively. Do I understand correctly that both should credit status miles, just with a slightly different multiplier according to wheretocredit? I'm primarly asking because the Business full flex fare specifically mentions Miles & More status miles as a benefit which makes it a bit confusing. I'd attach a screenshot but can't seem to do so yet as a new user, apologies.

Both will credit status miles in Miles & More account as well as award miles.

I will be flying with LH through Munich upcoming weekend and because I don't have status, will be using my Amex Platinum to gain access to the LH Business Lounge.
However, what do they charge for an additional guest? Website of Amex is not clear on it.
