I have a UAXXXX ticket operated by LH (couldnīt book it on LH webpage due to a stupid company policy). I was informed that I cannot upgrade the ticket using miles or vouchers because itīs from UA stock.

The only way is to upgrade at the check-in counter (to P.E. or C). In this case (a paid UPG at the airport), the award and status miles will correspond to the original class (V) or the new one (N or P)? Thanks

Airport upgrades don't improve mileage earning.

Thanks. I ended up using krisflyer and there was 0 yq for my trip. Figured It'll be a "same same but different" opportunity when I use my LH points intra US (extra 2.5 here less 2.5 there).

+1 on the SN direct although last time I took that flight there was a 40min queue for the document check at the B gates and no C/priority queue
Confirm there is a cold snack on LH1009 BRU-FRA in C.

Question New frst timer on LH long haul F

Thinking of trying F long haul on LH 747-8 to LAX (LH404) to fly this aircraft in LH F with the FCT at FRA. If you connect at FRA on a UK flight can you only get a car to the FCT if the aircraft parks out ?

If you stay overnight at FRA Hilton can you walk to FCT easily next morning?.

Also going to come back on LH41 on 77W to try LX F. are there any material difference in the service onboard. Will I get F lounge access in ZRH on transfer to European shorthaul in J.

Many thanks for your help.

I do not think you will get a car to the FCT if it is remote stand, but could be wrong.

.
anything is walkable, as you willing to walk, the hotel should/might have a shuttle

You cannot get a car from a plane _to_ FCT, period.

You _always_ get a car _to_ plane from FCT.

Have a morning LO flight coming up out of BRU. Can I drop my bags the evening before? Called the airline, they said that it might be possible, but they can't guarantee anything. Any experiences?

My OS flight from BRU to VIE got cancelled due to -allegedly- a bird strike. I got rebooked onto SN, but the fare class changed from S to Y.
Will I receive miles according to the new booking class?

From my personal experience the answer is yes

This might be a stupid question and for all I know, might have been asked and answered multiple times before. But here goes.

How does the Mileage earning on partner airlines work for intercontinental flights work?

The mileage table for Air India is as follows:

Destinations worldwide

Flights from / to / between non-European destinations

First Class
A, F: 3.0 x distance; at least 1,500 miles

Business Class
C, D, J: 2.0 x distance; at least 1,000 miles
Z: 1.5 x distance; at least 500 miles

Economy Class
B, Y: 1.5 x distance; at least 500 miles
V: 1.0 x distance; at least 500 miles
H, K, M, Q: 0.5 x distance; at least 250 miles
G, W: 0.25 x distance; at least 250 miles

So does that mean if I earn mileage for my flights on AI only if the departure or destination is a non-European city e.g. I would be able to earn miles if I fly DEL-BLR/BKK/PVG/HKG bit not if I fly FRA/LHR/FCO-DEL?

Asking since I would be travelling a lot to Asia in the near future and the company's policy is to book the cheapest flight available, which means it won't be LH for sure.

Thanks in advance.

You earn on all flights, don't worry, as long as they are operated by AI (I don't know whether they have subsidiaries or codeshares that would be excluded from earning).

Thanks. AI was just an example, but that answers my question.

Hey guys, I just have a few questions. Flying on multiple airlines that I booked through Austrian Airlines.

Hong Kong - Chek Lap Kok Intl. Airport
PR 300 operated by Philippine Airlines

18:20 Hong Kong - Chek Lap Kok Intl. Airport
Vienna
OS 68 operated by Austrian Airlines


Friday
August 25, 2017 20:05
21:35 Vienna
Dusseldorf
OS 8843 operated by Eurowings


Monday
September 11, 2017 19:15
20:45 Rome - Fiumicino
Munich
LH 1847 operated by Lufthansa


Monday
September 11, 2017 22:30
15:35+1 Munich

1) How do I get my boarding passes? Will it be given to me once I check-in at Manila?
2) Will my bags be checked in until my final destination?

4) If I dont get my boarding passes in Manila, where should I get them?

Its my first long haul flight on different airlines. I hope you guys could help me out. Thanks!
