red by the current flight schedules of Lufthansa and its airline partners and may therefore be temporarily unavailable. An upgrade award is always only valid for the route covered by one flight coupon of a ticket. The availability
of awards may vary depending on date, season and destination. Individual awards may not be available at certain times. Mileage amounts shown here may not be applicable to the most favourable flight connection in your
case.
