Recently flew Lhr-Zrh-Sin-Syd return in biz class and my account is showing something strange on two of the flight sectors. On the the return leg, the Syd-Sin and Sin -Zrh flights are listed on my account but stating my name is not on the passenger list!! So no points are issued. I can confirm I was on the flights as Mrs Gaz was sitting next to me and has already received her points for the entirety. I have contacted the Miles and More team but as yet have had no reply. Has anyone else had this issue. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everyone, I'm planning my first trip with LH F after a long time and have a question about FCT access in FRA/MUC
I'll be flying EZE-FRA in F then FRA-MUC in J and MUC-DME in J (same day). I assume I'll get FCT access in FRA because of the incoming F flight from EZE
.. but what about MUC?

I have a silly question.. does LH allow paying for an upfare within the same class and still allow you to upgrade to a higher class? (e.g H->B/Y, B/Y->D)
I was told booking an upgrade (H->E) would block the ability to then go from Prem. Eco to Bus. (which looks like it would be an E->Z anyway and H upgrades to Z -- would make no sense!)

Seat Reservations on Codeshare. (Sigh)
Hi folks, the age old question.
Im flying tomorrow from IAH - FRA, originally booked on United.com. United flight number but operated by Lufthansa.
Checkin opened and tried to do a seat reservation on United but at no point did it allow me to book any seats. Tried to use the LH booking code on LH’s website but it just redirects me to use United. Called Lufthansa and they told me to call the website department.
I’m flying MSY - IAH, IAH -FRA, FRA - TXL.
Perhaps I cannot pick a seat because the IAH - FRA is more than 23 hours out?
Any tips here? Nobody in customer service is being helpful.
Thanks!

(If I'm completely wrong, please call me out on it - this was my understanding only.)

Check this thread for the comparison of the FCL B and the FCT. The FCL A is not suitable as it is in Schengen.

That was extremely painless, and I didn't even have to pay anything on top of the adult taxes. Nice.

hi all - thanks for the help so far. i've now got ORD-FRA-ATH booked in F/J thanks to the lifemiles promo.
now to add the infant - any ideas how much I'll be out of pocket? is it 10% of the commercial fare? have been quoted $1,300 which looks like 10% of the fare. was hoping i'd only be up for the taxes. Would i have a better outcome trying to add him via the LM ticket?

You can also consider how much a PE & Biz ticket costs on that route & how much you paid already for your Y ticket.

Actually I paid $1100 for the open jaw tickets, CGK - FRA, VIE - CGK.
CGK - SIN Eco B
SIN - FRA PE N
VIE - MUN Eco L
MUN - SIN Eco L
SIN - CGK Eco L
FRA - SIN is L ticket, however it's eligible for an upgrade even though when I booked it says ineligible for upgrade.
Based on your opinion, do you think it's worth to upgrade?

i found this - https://www.lufthansa.com/xx/en/Trav...n-for-children - which suggests i might be out of luck?
- Infant fare: babies (0-2 years) not taking up a seat travel free of charge on domestic German routes or for 10% of the regular fare on all other routes.
