Now, the only grain of truth to what the agent said is that if/when the segment clears, you will likely have to call to have an agent reissue the ticket, and I suppose a bad agent could do something stupid to the LH flights. IME, though, that would be very rare; on my most recent one, I had to have agents reissue at least three times (schedule changes plus cleared waitlists), and they preserved the partner flights without issue.

What would I do without FT!
It literally just took me to HUACA 3 times and there you go I didn't even have to say anything, agent goes: SURE hold on, not 10 seconds later she tells me I'm waitlisted.
Again, thank you both, or else I probably would have just let go after the first try.
Now I hope my LH flights stay the same and I don't accidentally get pushed back to coach!
Safe travels everyone
