In any case, the OS fare is now gone, but the LH fare remains. And as it is now, there is a 100 EUR fee for any changes.
As we have recently seen with AZ,airlines might try to do what you've just said,but it is highly unlikely for several reasons:
1)cheap fares to Asia,like RTF on LH are not unheard of;
2)A few non-flyertalkers go and check the rules and booking class of a flight,so if the fares was in W or S it would be ok;
3)it's not a clear $0 fare;
4)if the number of people that took advantage of the fare is low,the airline won't screw it all and lose potential future customers;
5)it is a contract and unilaterrally voiding it,is not the way to go.Nasty lawsuits are not the way to go for airlines.
6)the airline cannot change fare rules at their pleasure;it's a breach of contract.
7)the fare was available for more than 24 hrs;if they did not realize it,it's their fault.
I don't think they will do a fuss over it.I booked the LH fares,because the OS fare is not available in Dec.
