You have a short period of time till UA and LH will detect the dupe booking and cancel one of the two. Book and cancel right away usually works. With space available I would hesitate to just changing the from J to F, but I understand the hesitation.
Thanks for the help!
I’ve been checking frequently over past few days, and a few hours under T-4 days, space opened up in F with a slightly later connecting flight to UK than I already had booked in J (IAH-FRA seemed to open up exactly at T-4 days)
Made my reservation in F and then immediately canceled the existing one in J and all seems ok so far. Got ticketing confirmation from UA and new reservation shows up on LH profile. Scheduled connection gives 4 hours in FRA so hopefully enough time to use FCT (first time for me in LH F!)
