Thanks everyone for your answers. I was initially waitlisted on 3 flight out of 6 in the trip. On two of those flights I was confirmed within 12 hours while I had my EBG number in the reservation.
When I discussed the situation with my travel agent yesterday he agreed with
baggage tag that FTL was most likely higher that A* Gold. So he put that number into the reservation instead and also told me he would call LH and verify this assumption. Now, approximately 20 hours after he added the FTL number I can see that I have been confirmed from the waitlist. ^
I can also add that the flight I was just confirmed on (FRA-ICN) has zero availability in all classes, and the same is true for the same flight on the day before and the day after I travel. Perhaps a chance for an op-up?
