As stated by the others my experiences confirm too that LH takes a hard stance on putting you on an earlier flight unless for

1)operational reasons
2) you got a flexi fare
3) your fare is changeable against a fee, you are willing to pay the fee and there is space in your eco booking class

I usually have some LH special fares from SIN that are MFFSG which offer decent value and full flexibility. It is not always that fully flexible is only a full Y fare.
