So they would increase their daily flights ?
I do not think so...would be very much surprising if they will increase FRA and on top of that add the DUS service!

I am worried as my wife (on First) and 2 children (on J) are travelling on TG 923 in mid Dec on Aeroplan reward tickets. What are my options if they cancel this flight? Will Aeroplan or TG guarantee them 3 equivalent seats on other TG flights leaving Europe on the same day? Whose responsibility is it - Aeroplan or TG?

Presumably your children are old enough to travel unaccompanied in the J cabin? This type of arrangement with younger children has caused problems with TG award bookings before.

I remember only one instance of that happening and it was in the 77W with herringbone seats which TG is no longer in possession of.

Shows the same for my December flight as well. But if you check ITA they now list (at least for my flight date) a 747.

[KVS Availability Tool 7.4.2/Diamond - Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA-STD]
Code:
BKK Bangkok Metro / Suvarnabhumi Intl TH = BKK DMK [VTBS] FRA Frankfurt Metro / Intl DE = FRA HHN [EDDF] THU 11 Dec 2014 | 1 Seat Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C St Availability --------- ------ ---- -------- ---- -------- --- -- ------------- LH 773 BKK 12:25 FRA 18:45 343 0 FS/ CS- YS+ TG 922 BKK 13:15 FRA 19:05 747 0 FS+ CS+ YS+ TG 920 BKK 23:40 FRA 05:30 +1 380 0 FS- CS- YS+
Really...who knows!
I suspect right now, not even TG.Hopefully all will become clear within a few days.

Why would the 747 be nicer?
From what I understand it would have the exact same seats in J?!
Still do not believe they will have a 380 + 747 a day to FRA AND a 77W to DUS...

I wouldn't worry too much...it strongly appears to be the case that TG922/3 is staying and will be operated by 747...so quite possibly they'll be enjoying the new F suite rather than old F on the A346.

I really hope they dont cancel this flt. Will be unnecessarily stressful for my children if they have to stopover one or more times to reach BKK. They are old enough to travel in J if my wife is on the same flt, but cannot travel alone.
In case the flt is cancelled, is Aeroplan obliged to honour the previous booking class and can they really make TG open up 1 F seat and 2 J seats on the A380 flt from FRA-BKK?
