The war in Europe. The airlines have little incentive to open space for award travel in light of the issues with air space, issues with fuel costs, issues with the pandemic...

I am Finding availability of LH First on DEL-FRA route for few dates in may 2023. I am Tracking for last few days & I find this availability keep shifting. ( seats available for only 3, 4,5, 6 May 2023 when searched on 6 May 2022 & When searched on 9 May 2022, seats available only for 6,7,8 & 9 may 2023 ). Since I need To buy LM miles before I book the seats for May 2023... I need to be doubly sure that It is not Phantom Booking ----Or software glitch.
Please Advise how to proceed .

LM has been known to have the odd glitch where LH F was bookable outside these windows.
Hard ti say if you are seeing seats now for 2023 whether they will be bookable or not.
Close in (within 14 or 7 days) I’ve always been able to book seats I have seen on line through LM.

LH F should only be available 14 days prior to departure, and more recently, only 7 days prior to departure.

Can someone share the expected miles for an itinerary like FRA-LAX or FRA -SFO or MUC in Lifemiles for business and first?
I thought I had enough for a business class ticket but no longer sure. 30k for coach I found.
I'm actually trying VIE-LAX, that is pricing at 46k for economy. Is it a different zone? (On OS, it would be a non-stop).
