You're right...every one of these itineraries seems to be a cross-platform change.

One thing about looking at these tickets is proving to me...I REALLY need to confirm my plans ASAP and get this ticket booked at the SparPreis! The full price for this ticket (in 2nd class!) is almost exactly what I am spending to fly r/t between DUS and LIS on the same trip!
