When there is I availability do you normally get it cleared instantly or over time? I am still within the 24 hour window so I am hesitant to apply the Plus Points if it doesnt look good.

seats.aero doesn't usually pull from Lufthansa. Does it show where it got it from? Could be phantom availability. LH upgrades often clear overnight - I would at least wait till the next morning to see if it clears.

FRA-LAX is high demand - kind of unusual - agreed
