If BD were still in *A, they could have rebooked OP on a different flight if there was available space ( or PTS might have been able to get award space released if possible), not sure LH would release non-award inventory for a 236 ticket now.. And who is going to make the change and reissue the ticket? BD or LH? It is going to open a can of worms...
There is always the nuclear option- cancel and rebook...
