There's nothing worse than expecting you'll be flying in a better class only to find yourself stuck in coach! Oh, Flug, they'll do everything they can to keep from giving you those miles! I swear. "Sorry, it's Tuesday and you're wearing a green sweater. No miles for you!" I say if you fly on their plane, you get the miles. End of story.

We had a customer booked on United Airlines flightnumber (operated by Lufthansa/Star Alliance Partner). She got much miles on Lufthansa "Miles & More" (also usable on United). We tried do do the upgrade for her with Lufthansa. They said, we have to do it with United, because it´s a united flightnumber. So we does. United told us, sorry, it is the wrong booking class, no upgrade possible. So we called Lufthansa again, cause they told us to book "M" Class. "That´s right, but on Lufthansa flights." Me: "But we booked a Lufthansa flight, on United flight number, cause it is a codeshare flight, but it´s a Lufthansa operated flight." At the end, we had no chance for an upgrade. So Betty, you´re so right, just book the Airline and the flightnumber you have miles from. And the Airlines name this "Star Alliance". I cannot stop laughing..... Hi Betty,

And the Airlines name this “Star Alliance”.

I feel your pain. Mike kept promising to upgrade us to business class for the flight home from our honeymoon, but he kept putting it off. Then, suddenly, we're in London 24 hours before it's time to fly home and he can't do it online and even though we speak English we still couldn't figure out how to use a pay phone. When we showed up at Heathrow we must have looked really pathetic, because the counterperson seemed to pity us. We still couldn't fenagle an upgrade but got seats in coach with no one on either side of us. (Maybe it's just because we smelled bad.) Aaargh! I feel your pain.
