You should check fares for this routing too, as it might be cheaper to cancel your tickets for a full refund and buy new tickets with the connection. Alternatively, if LH markets a through fare in FC/business class with premium cabin travel on the domestic connecting flight, you have a strong argument for asking LH to put you into the premium cabin on the local carrier.
Appreciate your input, but domestic flights within Brazil are single class only on all carriers.
I go regularly to Brazil and for this reason I have almost stopped flying within Brazil.
My tickets were very cheap as I bought during a "travel two pay for one" promotion period. So just under 5000 EUR for 2 in First Class. I cannot by 2 business class tickets for that.
