Beyond what was already mentioned within this thread? No, other than to just be patient.

I’d echo the thoughts of others and say that you just need to get TATL, and you can get yourself to MUC or closer by LCC and then to your final destination by train. I would hold out almost no hope that award space to MUC direct opens up. If you’ve never been to Oktoberfest, it’s a pretty substantial event.

I went to Oktoberfest last year, and while my travel was not on an award, for cost considerations I flew into HAM and took the train (6 hours IIRC) to MUC the following day. I flew out of MUC on the return.
