    LH's policy regarding upgrades are fairly strict. Though as non rev you may purchase an ID90 in C class and with space available get a seat in business. Not sure though if the ID90 (or 75) in C applies to all other airline employees or just Star Alliance. Even if you hold a normal eco ticket and economy is full you may be upgraded. But a lot depends on the flight manager assigned to that flight. Like so many things it's a last minute judgement call, though I must add not strictly company policy. Officially, with eco full and only seats remaining in C or F, priority is given to the Y full fare status customers to get bumped up and of course non revs holding C class. If there is still enough room in eco, and you hold an eco discounted then forget about that upgrade, unless of course you know the flight manager or gate agent.

    I've only been upgraged on LH when my husband was working the flight, or someone we knew was gate agent or purser. UA is generous in that way, in my experience, as others here have noted.

    My experience with LH is that they rather upgrade a coach passenger than a non rev.

    Just want to add that me and my girlfriend got upgraded on LH last summer when flying FRA-SIN and Y-class got full.
    We were on Y-class ZED-fare tickets that time.

    You might be able to travel business on any LH flight, if you are able to purches an standby business ticket. I don't know what kind of ticket you are able to buy though.

    Welcome aboard!

    2 Questions...
    a) has the listing ever worked with the coach ticket?
    b) how do you list?

    Yes, a couple weeks ago going to Vienna my airline was oversold and with 1 flight I wasn't trying us so I ventured to Lufthansa because they had three flights which I checked on my system and they looked good so I listed myself in business. I went to the airport gave them the ticket at JFK and was given business to and from with no problems. Only thing though is I wanted to take the 747 but I didn't want to wait around because as a non-rev always go for the 1st flight.
