Lufthansa New/Cancelled Routes and Changes
Thanks, indeed DXB-FRA now 3x day daily. The third flight wasn't daily in the past, now it is. So even more choice for passengers going only between DXB and FRA (including a ghastly departure at 4AM from DXB on EK - I suppose that is mostly for people connecting in DXB).

The PR for the new A330 service to ACC, ironically issued by the TLV office
Lufthansa upgrades Accra service to Airbus A330-300
Since this weekend, Lufthansa German Airlines improves its services between Accra and Frankfurt with an Airbus A330-300 aircraft. The new wide body aircraft increases capacity by 100%, offering a three-class configuration and bringing the renowned 5 Star First Class to Ghana. The A330-300 replaces the two-class Boeing Business Jet.
“Lufthansa has been working hard to re-introduce the large Airbus to its Ghana route. We can now offer our passengers the full range of an exceptional Lufthansa experience right from Accra and back”, said Carsten Schaeffer, Lufthansa Vice President Sales and Services Southeast Europe, Middle East and Africa after a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Kotoka International Airport.
In honor of upgraded service, 25 journalists attended a special press conference at the airport with Mr. Schaeffer as well as Kevin Markette, Lufthansa’s General Manager Ghana and Claus Becker, Lufthansa’s Regional Director Western Africa.
Lufthansa commenced flight operations to Accra on August 24, 1967, with two flights a week, using Boeing 707 aircraft. Since then the service expanded and is now daily.

I was trying to book F tickets to go to Kyoto, as I have done before. My flight is for late September. I saw that F is no longer available from July 20. The flight seems to remain on 744 and the seatmap shows upper deck with 8 seats sold as business class (blocked).
From October 26, the flight seems to go back to having F availability. Something seems wrong here, why would Lufthansa stop selling F for about 3 months when the equipment never changes from a 744 with F seats on the upper deck and old C seats on the main deck?
Any advice? My main goal is to avoid old C for this overnight flight.

May I ask for the forum's help on the changes to the FRA - KIX (Osaka) route?

If you get your travel agent to send a message through the queue to Lufthansa they generally respond quite quickly and advise him/her on why exactly F is showing that way and what the alternatives are to ensure you fly F.
