But the fee for premium/exit row seats would apply to everyone.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be that unrealistic:

This is my feeling as well- I think if your dates are completely confirmed then it is quite safe and to continue with "P/Z/D" fares and the like. If you have any chance you will have to change- don't do it unless you want to pay the higher fare classes- which have a very large difference in price (more than double or even more in some cases).

It depends how often you have to change. LH is encouraging you to buy the cheapest changeable fare and pay the fare difference + change fees if you need to rather than paying for the so-called 'fully flexible fare' which is more expensive.

Dear fellow Fters,

Please continue the discussions regarding the official Flyertalk/Vielfliegertreff and Lufthansa Dialogue 2013 event. This is also the place were we will post a summary and meeting minutes in the next couple of days.

I am closing this thread now.

Take care!
