But in any case: just wait and see, there is no pattern when LX releases a F-seat as it depends on the current as well as predicted load. So it's quite dynamic. However, LX is very good at releasing seats some time before departure respectively when it's estimated that the cabin won't sell out.
Is the same true for C awards or just F? I need to redeem DEL-ZRH on the new C for my parents in mid-March and I am almost certain that C will not sell out given that this is the off season but I've had no luck so far.
