Anyway, given that the OP has disappeared without trace after his one post, what are we all still doing here?

LH's official policy is to upgrade based on the booking class (i.e. fares paid) rather than status including their own top elite.

I just got upgraded on a Lufthansa flight from Business to First Class. Frankfurt --> LAX. No idea exactly why, but it was an awesome surprise and makes me want to fly LH more just for the chance of it happening again! The ticket was a business class D fare. I'm a *Gold, UA Plat.

There is usually a comment made in these discussions.. "plan on travelling in your booked cabin and you won't be disappointed"...So true...
Op ups can be very strange and completely unpredictable. My one and only was on CX from J > F travelling on a cheap SQ fare ex MNL.....(I miss that MNL-YVR fare...lol)
I have ZERO OW status... none. I was however travelling solo.....which I suspect is a more important factor than status/fare paid MUCH of the time.....

Got upgraded on CA and BR recently from Y to Premium Economy but not C.
I guess that is expected, since their Premium Economy is a separate cabin with added amenity.
