More specifically, LX has stopped releasing any F awards to partner airlines. The only way to book SWISS First awards is via Lufthansa Miles & More miles. You cannot use Aeroplan, nor United, nor any other non-M&M program.
Suggestion: Book LX J now, wait until (a minimum of) 14-days prior to departure when it becomes bookable and switch to LH F from YUL-MUC. It's operated by an LH A330, and all MUC-based A330s feature new F. It's now your only option to travel real F across the atlantic. It's usually super easy to book LH F 14-days prior on YUL-MUC.
