A coworker and I are arriving on a flight to MUC, and have about a 2:15 layover before our final flight to HAM. Our tickets are both on LH.
THere is a flight MUC to HAM that leaves about an hour earlier than the fliight we are currently booked on. If our flight to MUC lands on time or early, would we be able to get onto the earlier flight (provided there is room), or is this a not allowed...or allowed with an outrageous fee?
If it matters, class Z
Thanks!

Thank you so much, Malmostoso.
Yes, I meant my employment proof that I have a job in Norway.
I have read many stories about US immigration especially first time visitors experiences.
Well, quite little nervous of it
I have two friends in NYC and Washington DC.
One of them said that I must not say I have friends in US if the border staff ask me about it.
I am not a good actor.
What do you think I should do?
Once again, sorry for my question which is OOT.

It's best to be truthful and not make up stories. You will almost certainly be asked for the purpose of your visit and possibly the duration of stay. Just answer the question(s) asked and don't offer any information if not asked. It's not uncommon for people visiting the US to have friends there. If you are really concerned have a note of your itinerary and your return/onward ticket ready and show them but only if asked.
I've looked at your plan and it appears you are going to Canada first and from there to the US. It means US immigration will take place in Toronto before you board your flight to LGA. It's very unlikely they will ask you many questions when leaving Toronto.
Enjoy your trip!

I’ve booked an F Award AKL-SIN-FRA-TXL on LH Ticket Stock, with Miles and More miles.
However I do have a 10 hour layover in FRA to test the FCT. is it possible to take an earlier flight when I don’t wanna stay in fct any longer provided that the flight is not full.
or do I have to pay any change fees?

Actually there would need to be availability on the whole itinerary since the ticket is cancelled and reissued. OP, get to FRA and see if they can put you on an earlier flight.

It’s an M&M award ticket, and OP has not indicated it’s a return, the flight in question is the final one, so Just availability on that flight is the issue.

I have a question for anyone who is familiar with BEG. I'm considering a "connection" there, which as far as I can tell is legal to ticket although the fact that it's a ticketed point instead of a true transfer makes me a little suspicious, FRA-BEG-FRA.
The connect would be 0h50, but on what I assume is the same frame, LH1406 to LH1407. What I don't know is since Serbia is not Schengen, what kind of transfer process (security, etc) would there be while doing this? Am I basically guaranteed a misconnect? (Not sure I care, as I need the BEG-FRA sector direct for faring reasons, and wouldn't actually mind getting IRROPSed onto anything else that gets me [back] to FRA that day).
Also, I'm assuming that as a non-Schengen European destination, transferring US-FRA-BEG requires transfer security at FRA (or I guess the Z-A-B transfer for maximum passport stamps).

Don’t know about transfer experience at BEG, but I wouldn’t count on being rerouted, unless it’s really a connection as opposed to a return.
With regards to security checks, the US should be “clean”, so no security on Z-A. Then you can do A-B via tunnel and B-B passport control (again).
Otherwise take the A-B train and do no entering Schengen, but transfer security.

UA to LH Baggage Fees
I am flying from Reykjavik to FRA (actually EWR-KEF-FRA) on a UA issued ticket. I am 1K/*G, so I have no luggage fees for my one checked bag.
I am then flying FRA to VIE a few hours later on a separate LH ticket.
I know I can probably have my bags checked through to VIE, but will there be a charge for the baggage for the FRA-VIE flight when I check-in in KEF? Currently looking at an Economy Light ticket.

Oh, hm. I had not considered that. Technically my ticket would have a destination of BEG and a stopover in FRA (I need to go to FRA, but faring it this way saves thousands). Does anyone know what the transfer experience is at BEG, or a better place to ask?

Hi all,
Quick question as I am relatively new on Star Alliance world. I have an upcoming LH flight in discounted economy whereby I would like to (i) add my Krisflyer Card number (as I have recently obtained KF Gold; so Star Alliance Gold, for the purposes of gaining lounge access/fast track/priority boarding); and (ii) where possible, also the my M&M number in which I do not have status just to obtain the miles.
The booking code apparently does not credit any miles to KF so crediting to M&M would be the only option. Is there a way to attach both FF numbers to the booking?
If not, do I just link the M&M number to the booking and rather use the plastic/iphone wallet KF Star Gold card for lounge access/priority boarding?
Many thanks
