It has now been nine days since Lufthansa cut off all first class award space to its Star Alliance partners. It’d be one thing if Miles & More members also were cut off from first class award space, but the situation is a bit more complicated.
I figured it would be helpful to take a look at the Lufthansa First Class space Miles & More it is offering its own members to see what is available, if anything at all.
One complicating matter is that Lufthansa has gone fully dynamic in the pricing of awards on Austrian, Lufthansa, and SWISS flights, which means, as near as I can tell, there is no “saver” and “standard” space. Instead, the price (and change fee) mimics that of a revenue ticket, with many tickets carrying extremely punitive cancellation fees.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
