LX usually opens the week before, so if you are flexible, book a UA F ticket and switch to LX in the days before your trip
LH is usually available in advance (on the 340s, 7474, but haven't seen any 380 seats)

Let's be honest, all those airlines are superior in both hard and soft product to UA. So they actually are able to sell F seats versus UA/AA which are mostly Crew (Non-Revs and crew friends) or up-graders (this occurs mostly in J). Also over the next few months UA F might be known as Flyertalk cabin/class due to the recent 4 miles sale hehe

Did UA honour the 4 miles? From what I read they didn't.

I'm trying to book on miles in F DUS-ORD on the 17th of September and it shows available but I can't book it. When I play around and try booking from other cities, it routes through DUS on the same flight but won't go through. Very frustrating!
