Question about LH F Awards
I know how the LH F awards dont open until a few days before the flight. I am in business FRA-JFK on an award and want to switch it to first when/if it opens. When I goto LH website and it only shows 2 seats left in first is it safe to assume that the award is not gonna open? What is usually the amount of seats available needed for them to release First award space? Thanks

I would just keep watching. I think there are times when they mess around with F inventory depending on what's happening with the rest of the plane. I was watching a FRA-ORD flight last week--looked for awhile like there were no first seats available, then suddenly two O seats showed up.
