We're talking less than two weeks from now. Is it likely that LH or LX will release some award seats as the departure date gets closer?
Should I book a ticket for the routing I want for a future date and hope/expect to be able to change?
Is standby allowed on either carrier, as I have a suspicion that F will be available on those flights?
It is possible that LH and LX will release award seats as the departure date gets closer but there are no guarantees that they will do so. I too was looking for TATL F award tickets this summer and despite searching daily over a long period of time I wasn't able to find F tix on my desired date and travelled in C instead.
You don't tell us which airline's award program you are using so it's not possible to answer your question regarding standby. I can tell you that if you are using UA MP, standby is not possible for either airline.
