vacationhappy Posted September 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi - I am trying to figure this out. I am looking at a flight from Barcelona to Boston where the frst leg is Luftansa and the second leg is United operated by Luftansa. I then found the same flight under Luftansa however it was $100 more per person - same departure time, same connection time, same arrival time. If I book the first one and there is a problem (missed connection, etc), do I work through United or Luftansa? Does anyone forsee any issues with the lower priced flight? There is a 2 hour connection through Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPNYC Posted September 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2008 You'll be on the same flight either which way so book it via the cheapest option. I did this once flying to China in biz class and saved $3000 because of the code share pricing difference. In code shares each airline partner is allowed to set their own price for the seats.

Atomica Posted September 11, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2008 There's no problem booking through United even though they codeshare with Lufthansa - as you say, same thing, different price. If I read your post correctly, it sounds like your connection is in Munich - if there were any issues, you would work directly through Lufthansa, as they would be providing the service, and have a much larger presence in Munich. If in doubt, usually on your tickets it will say whether you should be at United's counter or Lufthansa's counter to check in - deal with whichever company is printed there.

But I'm sure that my luck will run out at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
