Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here in this lounge. I'm planning to travel with Swiss in December on Premium Economy. The tickets are fully paid Premium Economy Class Standard (N-Class).
Somehow it doesn't accumulate any points on TG Royal Orchid Plus (Ref. Via this page: https://www.thaiairways.com/en_TH/ro...lliance23.page )
I'm not sure what 'N' class is on Swiss before the introduction of the new Premium Economy.
Should I had known about this, I might as well have booked in Economy to accrue some miles
Can someone please shed some light on this? I'll also post this in TG room just to get some idea on how often TG updates their Earning Miles with Star Alliance page.

N is the lowest fare class in Premium Economy and, like the P fare in Business, doesn't earn anything in many *A programs. While I agree it's a shady practice, sadly it is what it is. You can call Swiss (or your travel agent) and ask what the cash supplement would be to upfare to a mileage-earning fare class such as E, but this is unlikely to be worth it.

Does anyone know how to get put on the Lufthansa waitlist for business class using United Pluspoints? I have had the ticket changed from the UA codeshare flight to the actual LH flight and the ticket is upgrade eligible (G class (premium economy). Currently there is no immediate upgrades available, but the flight has 6 empty seats and wanted to try to waitlist for one of them.

Thanks for the reply. Follow-up question for you or anyone else: My domestic leg (BER>MUC) allows me to check-in. My onward flight slated for Weds late night (MUC>TBS) won't allow it yet. They're on the same reservation. They will take my checked baggage all the way to TBS, correct? I won't have to worry about getting it in MUC because of the staggered nature of the reservation?

No issues at all, the baggage will be tagged to your final destination and stays in the baggage system till the TBS flight is ready to go.

FWIW, the TA told me they could only tag it as far as MUC, as the TBS flight isn't until tomorrow until 22:15, even though it's on the same reservation. Oh well...taxi to hotel with bags in tow.

TA? If the checkin agent in BER can't check it thru you can definitely recheck it in MUC. Checkin in MUC is possible only within 23h of departure though.

It's 24h+ connection, so through-check is not possible. That's a normal limitation for airport software.
I'm actually surprised it was possible to book a through ticket. Unless it was bought as multi-city, in which case, it's not a through leg. I suspect schedule change?

BTW, for other poster: I meant ticket agent for TA. Sorry for wrong acronym.

As of recently I'm a new HON Circle member in miles and more. I just happened to find this page on the Lufthansa site about SIXT status match: https://www.lufthansa.com/be/en/sixt.
Was wondering if anybody successfully status matched- I called the HON line in the US but they didn't know anything about this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to get on the upper deck of the Lufthansa 747-8 and am wondering how best to go about this, I can’t find any award availability through Partners and don’t have any Lufthansa miles currently so I can’t look through there website. Obviously I could just pay to be up there but I am wondering if there are any cheaper ways to get up there? Does Lufthansa have a upgraded system?a paid one? Or potentially a free one for elites? I could probably get a status match and status match to star alliance gold, would that help me at all? Thanks in advance for your help!

Cabin Class A on Transcon from FRA to SFO
I have a flight marked as United business/FIRST(A) in my ticket. Seat not alloted. It was booked part of prem economy. Wondering if that was a business leg or premium economy seat. Seat hasn't been assigned by agent. Eager to know if i can stretch my legs :-)
