They said I would have to figure it out at ZRH, so let's see what happens.

I plead my case at the Business Lounge and they agreed to help since they felt sorry for me after my ordeal. Now waiting for a shower!
Worst case economy and a refund I guess, they did charge my card 900 EUR!

Omg they credited it as a economy class not business what a shitshow all around now I guess I have to deal with miles and more. Anyway if it works out I should at least get to Senator given the mileages are super generous right now with all the bonuses

Does a fixed 900 EUR upgrade during Check in 24 hours before the flight count as an airport cash upgrade ?

I find some of the answers here a bit confusing… Does any type of upgrade on LHG flights change the booking class to the upgraded class for purposes of status miles and, if so, which type?
