The goal is LAX to DBV, June 28th - July 11th. First Class with 450K MP.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
LH typically releases F seats beginning at T-14 (that is, 14 days prior to departure), and sometimes just a day or two prior to departure. If it's a relatively simple itinerary, you can book on united.com. Anything complex typically must be called in.
They very rarely release F on LAX-FRA. It's more common to find availability from SEA, DEN, YVR, DFW, ORD, JFK, or IAD. You should do your homework as to which aircraft will be used on a particular flight, as some are much better than others.
There is a wealth of information in these threads:
