Closer to accurate, only if you try too close to departure but not close enough.

Everyone seems to be able to find LH award seats, because they are ABUNDANT, if they try hard enough and look far enough out with enough flexibility.
If you call up today and ask for 6 C seats LAX-FRA on LH for June 25th you probably will get a no, what do you expect? LH awards are easy enough to procure, and hold all complaints until you've tried getting a premium cabin partner award using virtually any other airline, namely AA/CO/DL/NW/US.
