As for "how often is too often?", my experience is that although once a day is usually the most sensible, I end up spending almost all free time I have on the ANA tool and Expertflyer when I'm about to book/change flights. I can't help it...

KNEW I was missing something after the IAD-FRA FC seats came on ANA (hence my post here). Thanks for putting the puzzle piece in place!!!!
Just switched IAD-JFK (UA Y emb)-CAI (MS FC 744)-JNB (MS BC 330) to
IAD-FRA (LH FC 744) -CAI (LH FC 346)-JNB (MS BC 330).
