ArcticBull is correct.
This started last year. I have flown LX F many times and sad to see I can no longer award travel that booking with AE. M&M only has access.

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.
