Advise for flying on LH
Just want to check with you regular posters on a few things. I have checked the Star Allaince site and want to double check here.
I have 6 LH flight coming up all short haul within Europe.
I have M&S gold card and have only ever flown on TK & SQ so never had use for looking at other airline benefits.
The flights I have booked are all in Economy class as the flights are too short to warrant paying for business class.
1) Check in can use priority lines
2) Can use LH lounge at the following ports FRA,FDH,MAN.
3) Can choose seat when booking online with LH or after booking is made ( appreciate any advise on this )
4) Priority boarding.
5) Extra 20 KG checked in luggage on these European flights.
Any other tips greatly appreciated.

2. Yes - use Senator lounge - you need to show the card, LH is very strict: no card = no access
3. No - this is not a Star Gold benefit - it will cost you 10EUR (per flight, huh) or you can choose for free at check-in, unless the flight is very full the seat next to you would be blocked automatically (so it doesn't make any sense to pay)
4. Yes (but priority boarding does not really exist at the bus gates)
5. No - LH is on piece concept, so you can take extra piece of baggage (up to 23 kg), but if your baggage weights more than 23kg - you will have to pay - just take an extra piece to avoid problems - your allowance is, therefore, 2 x 23kg
