Not your usual LH F vs. LX F question
Hello LH forum,
I have an award booking in LH C with F waitlisted to JNB for July. As it's our honeymoon trip I'd be really keen to travel in F at least on the way there.
Now F availability with LX has opened up.
Two quick questions:
- Should I grab these seats and risk paying another change fee if LH F opens up? More importantly, would it be really worth switching?
- I traveled LH F before, but never tried the FCT: is there any way to have MUC-FRA-ZRH-JNB instead of MUC-ZRH-JNB? I am assuming that a same-day LX F ticket would give us access to the FCT.
Thank you for your advice!

Hi Malmostoso,
I'd switch to LX F and be happy. Personally, I enjoy LH F a bit more, but having said that: a) it's a night flight so you will spend most of the time asleep, b) I know my better half would not want to go out of her way (MUC-FRA-ZRH?!) just to spend more time on the ground on the way to honeymoon destination.
LX F is a great product and you can enjoy the F lounge in MUC and ZRH.
My 2 cents.

Which dates did you search, and have SWISS released F space on any other routes?
Unless OP is Senator and booking with Miles&More.

My LX F flights have always been better than my LH F flights.
LX food hits my taste better and service has always been better, more attentive, warmer and more genuine on LX.
Ok, old F design on A340 is dated but the seat has great comfort.
My sister, who did make several trips on LX F and LH F with me, also prefers LX F.

I don't know why they released it, but they released a lot of availability. Every date combination in July now yields two seats in F. I'm sure it will be gone quickly.
