@craftyabs: Lufthansa allows upgrades to F on all business fares and booking classes since April, and as a side effect UA GPUs can also be used now, even though the published policy still excludes P & Z. Enjoy!

Just booked AKL-HKG-MUC-AMS with the first leg on CX. I looked on the CX website and it says that seats will be available at check-in, and obviously LH wants stupid money to select seats now.
When the time comes for checking in to the CX flight, will I find the other flights on the CX website? Or will I have to go to the LH website to select seats and check in? If the latter, 24h before departure from AKL or HKG?
Thank you!

Booked Premium Economy on OS, USA-VIE-Europe. Have confirmed seat on the longer leg in Y+ on a 767. Shorter leg is A320 (321?) with obviously no Y+, but booking class is "Y." They want $55 for exit row. Is there no way of getting that for free, or even reduced? Seems like a lot of money for a short flight which is part of a Y+ booking and is itself in full fare Y.
(Unless anyone here knows of any workarounds?)

Catering on Eurowings Short haul Biz
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the catering is like on EW short haul Biz please (VIE-STN would be the route) is it a meal tray similar to OS or LH Business catering just a free choice from the Buy on Board trolley?
Thank you
Phil

Hello, anyone has a clew on how LX opens their business class seats to other *A programs?
I'm moving from Brasil to Portugal, and want to fly *A on a lie flat, and with TP i have only 30% chance of scoring their new seats.
I'm aiming LX+TP from Zurich because if I fly LX on the second leg, i'd have a tight conection and no lounge fun in ZRH
I started looking for seats on aug 3, and then there was availability to aug 5, 6, 7. Yesterday opened to 12 and 13, an today we had 7 and 13 available, and now at night we have 7 and 12
I want to fly on Aug 21/22, when do you guys think i will start seeing availability for these dates?
Also i'll have to book positioning flights to GRU, as Avianca Amigo only gives me TP as an option if i leave from CWB

You mean in two weeks? You should count yourself lucky to find *any* seats on *any* airline with such short notice and low flexibility. If you have M&M miles or can transfer to it, for 67k miles you can have GRU-FRA-LIS on LH on the 22/8. Otherwise keep on checking day after day, generally at T-14 things start moving.

Booked sfo-lhr next July in J. Selected row 3. Since they say they are substituting A380 on this route with no row 3 in J, will the seat map be revised at some point so I can reselect seats or will they just move me?

As soon as an aircraft change is updated on LH they will move you automatically & then you can also make changes.

Miles and More question
Is the Lufthansa Miles and More program the same program that LOT uses? I have a LH M&M account with no miles in it. I'm flying LOT in a month. Do I need to open a new acount or use my LH account number and get the same amount of miles credited to my account?
