WK has essentially the same seats (albeit with a slightly better IFE screen) that LX uses on its A330. So if you are traveling alone this has the advantage of single seats (while both carriers have lie flats, IMHO the LX/WK ones afford more privacy); go for the 12/15/17K window seats with WK, as for sleeping you get more room on the side than the A throne seats. I prefer LX over LH service-wise anyway, and although WK may be LX’s leisure subsidiary (e.g., catering is completely different to LX and tends to focus more on wholesome Swiss dining) often the WK crews are more motivated than their LX counterparts because they get longer layovers at leisure destinations. Add to that ZRH being much more convenient than FRA for transiting, so if fares are equal and WK schedules work (the connecting CPHZRHCPH would be LX anyway) I would favor LX/WK via ZRH.

And if you can’t decide, given that these carriers are all part of the same group you can probably even try one outbound and the other inbound for the same fare.

This development being able to earn Status and HON miles on LX marketed WK flights is pretty major and very positive imo.. I never understood why you didn’t.
It’ll actually affect my booking choices as I was actively avoiding a few of these flights in favour of worse connections or LH.

Exactly!

Family vacation in late summer will be in WK C (LX flight number). Would have thought twice without the change.

Just hope WK service gets more knowledgeable about these things, too.

I doubt we will see that go beyond M&M any time soon.

With Uniteds MileagePlus you eanr miles on EDW...

Yeah, but there is a special relationship between LH and UA and NH.

Bump.

Any updates/insights on this?
