First time trying to apply pluspoints to LH transcon flight. Looks I'm pretty much out of luck? Or am I doing this wrong and things open up at check in? Also figure i should lob in an upgrade offer but given that it seems like there is only 1 seat in total available thats not going to work as well.

Surprised, as usually I've flown intl flights with partially empty bus cabins (for work). But not sure if flight shortages have caused this one to be full or maybe LAX > FRA is just a heavily traffic-ed route
