F3 A3 J9 C9 D9 Z9 P0 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 E9 L9 K2

do you think LX will open award inventory and in case when?

thanks

Are you planning to use M&M upgrade instruments (miles, evouchers) ? If yes and it stays this way you should be able to get the upgrade but maybe not until day of departure

IIRC LX books F upgrades into A class anyway, whereas F awards are booked into O. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is what I remember.

Hi Skyluke. The message as posted was correct. Upgrades with M&M miles and evouchers on LX use "A" space. When O is open, the correlation to A being open is very strong so seeing O open probably meant A was open as well. I processed an upgrade yesterday from D to A with LX- this is how it works AFAIK. OPUPS by the way usually process to F.

Ok... have to correct myself... you are right, Swiss books upgrades on A class but only if you call Swiss itself. If you call Miles and more they always look for O class availability. I have now two bookings with upgrades with miles one booked into O class and the other in A class ;-)

that's the beauty of full integration of Miles and more and *A ;-)

Skyluke- call Swiss in Rome or Milano and they will do it for you.

Exactly. And, sidenote: i think this Lack of knowledge by lh agents is the reason for my 100% upgrade score using Miles on lx
