LH O (award F) is as common to be accessible for Miles&More members only until T-14.
LX O (award F) is awailable ONLY for Miles&More Senators and HON members. Nobody else can get the F award seat at all.
Upgrades are a bit different story.

As the F cabins are very small -- just 8 seats and they usually also manage to sell them as revenue seats very well, I personally see it is very good that they at first thnk about their own elites and only after some timeline will release seats to everybody else in *A. As I know SQ is doing it already looong time. LH high status is much harder to get and keep than any TK status, so they should honour their own elites above everybody else.
