What I suggest is maybe sign up for Expertflyer and set up an alert, or remind yourself to check every day. It's worth it in the end. The MUC-ATH if it opens, cool, if not, who cares, it's only gonna be Euro-biz anyway. I just booked a totally J trip minus WAW-IEV. The only reason I even care to bump it up is to make the whole trip J, though I know the J for that flight will be pointless.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I actually just got notification they automatically changed my MUC-ATH to J today. Will keep a look out for last YYZ-MUC or YYZ-XXX-ATH to complete the J.
Part of the the reason for LH is that, I think because I'm not booking a full like 12 months out but rather for 6 months a lot of the good non YQ options for my dates are taken. Either way I was going to eat YQ on AC or LH from what was available so just went with the one with the best timing that leaves Fri night.
