You can now buy an upgrade to Premium Economy Class on your Lufthansa long-haul flight for a fixed price. Enjoy the many different benefits of Premium Economy Class and travel in even greater comfort.
How to book your upgrade on long-haul flights
Call up your journey online under My Bookings. The system checks automatically which of your flights qualifies for an upgrade. Then click on the ‘Upgrade’ link". Confirm your choice for the flight or flights on which you would like to upgrade. Finally, enter your payment details and confirm your upgrade booking. A booking confirmation will be sent to the email address you have provided.
Of course, you can also book upgrades for other flights at a later date (up to a maximum of 24 hours before departure).
Please note that your original ticket’s fare conditions, i.e. the rules for rebooking, refunds and baggage, remain unchanged. The free baggage allowance of the originally booked fare also still applies. You will find this on your passenger receipt. If chargeable ancillary services were booked for the original ticket and these services are included as standard in the new travel class, no refund is possible (except in the case of paid-for advance seat reservations).
