Interesting, was all your credit card information correct? Did you call in question why?

I know it's fine to call in here, but it isn't good form to encourage calling in in general. It might have to do with not being able to secure partner availabiltity on a connection leg, though that would be odd here

Thanks, all! Booked IAD-BRU-OTP (UA 78X) / VCE-FRA-SFO (LH 748) for October a few minutes ago directly on UA.

I booked a trip a few hours ago thankfully, was not the easiest had to use some OTA to ensure I did not get united ticket stock

DEN-YYZ-LHR-WAW (AC to LHR, LOT to WAW)

WAW-FRA-YYC (on LOT/AC then overnight in YYC) then next day to DEN

Any idea if they will check to see if I am eligible to fly to the USA when I board WAW-FRA-YYC ?? (I am not banned or anything just us canadians can't enter the USA while being in a schengen country for the prior 14 days at the moment, which I am hoping will be dropped at some point...) I was hoping to just "miss" my last segment as I live somewhat close to YYC

Thanks

I saw that last night when the fare first came out, kinda disappointing, but still the best bang for the buck at 150% as LH and others are 100% for "P" aka discounted business fares...

Wife wasn't happy I booked one trip without her so had to book one for us together.

Grabbed ORD-FRA(LH747)-DUB-EWR-ORD. Not the prettiest by any means but we can share an upper deck in the 747, fly a 787-10 on UA, and polaris lounge access both ways....hopefully...

I disagree with your logic. If it was a mistake fare, It’s obvious to all on the board not to call. These are valid fares across several carriers to many destinations. Why should the OP lose out on a valid ticket if it was a technicality and he could have it reinstated before the fare expires

I would not hesitate to call on this one. It is not a mistake.

called to adjust the outbound leg for BOS/YYZ/MUC/MAD - MAD/FRA/YYZ/BOS . Called AC at 11:57pm PT and the prices flipped higher by $600 roughly by 12:01am PT.
Rate department would not budge.

I don't suppose there's any chance of LH's new business class seats showing up anywhere by early 2022?

Nope. Maybe the quickly accuired five 787 have a new/different hardware as the planned new LH Business. But it‘s not clear which routes they will cover.

Sorry, but I had to LOL.

LH is clawing back every cent they can find between the sofa cushions, there is no way they will launch the cabin refit until our trajectory out of this pandemic is clearer. Particularly as the 77X delays put off the deliveries of the first type that was intended to have the new cabin installed.

I thought the 787 are going straight to OS as a 767 replacement?
