I have to say I was surprised they allowed me on.
Consider yourself lucky. In my experience, it is more like once in a blue moon, than sometime even with carry-on...I would not plan being able to get on an earlier flight! LH is pretty straightforward....you booked that flight, hence you are planning to fly then, not earlier....
