An upgrade requires several things, depending on the kind you would like to book. The main thing is that there must be free seats in the higher class. There is also a time limit: You can book an upgrade from 360 days before your flight until 24 hours before departure. You can find all the details here.

No, the fare conditions of your original ticket still apply after the upgrade. This means the rules for changing your booking, getting a refund, and baggage do not change. You still get the same baggage allowance as your original ticket.

We offer a selection of snacks and high-quality meals that vary depending on your travel class and flight duration. For example, you can purchase fresh snacks on Economy Class flights that are longer than one hour. On long-haul flights, complimentary meals and beverages are provided even in Economy Class.

Baggage allowance refers to the amount of baggage you can bring with you at no extra cost. The size, weight and number of bags or suitcases depends on the fare you have booked, the flight route and your Miles & More status.

The free baggage allowance and applicable fees for additional baggage depend on your route, flight class and the fare. Use our baggage calculator to find out how much baggage you are allowed to bring with you on your flight and how you can add additional baggage.
