This looks acceptable to me, but I have no idea if this is normal, good, or bad.
While I'm here, could someone please confirm that I can change the dates for free, but would need to pay the fare difference? I can't seem to find anything to indicate what kind of date range this applies to (like how far back can I push a flight that is currently inbound first week of 2022).
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if it's available during Christmas but at the moment LH has a deal fare £705 for a multi-city from London to Johannesburg & Cape Town to London in Premium Economy.
Also, as you mentioned, you would be able to change your flights without any change fee, however, a fare difference would apply in voluntary situations ( this applies for bookings through 28 February 2021 regardless of the travel date ).
If you purchase the ticket far in advance, you would be limited to 365 days after purchase unless there is a new waiver or an extension offered by Lufthansa so purchasing today would mean that travel should be completed until mid-January 2022.
