Beginning today, Lufthansa will increase the amount of codeshare flights that are operated by United. Codesharing by its definition allows for 2 airlines to streamline the reservation process by allowing a smoother way for airlines to book their passengers on flights operated by a ‘codeshare partner’. Currently there are dozens of codeshare flights operated by Lufthansa and United for each other and this list acts as an update.
I’ve been keeping a list of codeshare flight numbers available on my site so that passengers who use Lufthansa’s ‘Blue Legends’ app can readily receive credit for checking in on a flight operated by United which has a Lufthansa codeshare flight number associated with it.
Here are the new routes that will have codeshare flight numbers. I’ll be receiving the actual list of codeshare flight numbers from LH by Monday or Tuesday and will update my ‘Blue Legends’ page to reflected these additions.
