I looked into upgrading to Lufthansa Business Class on my flight from Chicago to Munich last year, and the number of miles really depends on your route and fare type. For me, it was around 50,000 Miles & More points one way, plus some taxes and fees. I wasn’t sure if my ticket qualified, so I called 877-764-3622. The agent explained exactly how many miles I’d need, checked availability, and even compared whether it was smarter to pay cash or use points. In the end, I used miles for the upgrade, and the flatbed seat made the overnight flight so much easier. Honestly, it was one of the best redemptions I’ve ever done. If you’re thinking about upgrading, I recommend calling that number — it’s the quickest way to instantly book, cancel, or modify Lufthansa flights and confirm how many miles your upgrade will take.
