Two weeks is plenty of time, and if your reservation on LH.com shows all current segments as "confirmed", there's no reason to worry. Thousands of tickets are being reissued at the moment so it's normal that the queue is long, but there's no way your ticket won't be reissued in time for the flights. I wouldn't worry at all until 4-5 days before the flight at the earliest.

The booking is fine, everything is as intended.
When I request access to my e-ticket by email, they will email me the one I had originally booked with the cancelled flight looking like this.
Cancelled flight showing up on eticket

I booked my flight on Swiss.com, I am not sure how I can tell if my reservation is "confirmed", the eticket I request from their website is still showing my cancelled flight.
edit: Turns out I can access the same booking on Lufthansa's website. All my bookings are showing as "Status Confirmed"

Not so much a newbie question but not sure where else to put it...
What's the OS TATL biz experience like these days?
I previously booked CDG -> ZRH -> JFK for this month but now I see availability for CDG -> VIE -> JFK and I'm very tempted to switch as I weigh the DoCo experience (in normal times!) pretty highly...

lufthansa/swiss non-dairy options?
my spouse, who cannot have dairy, is traveling lufthansa and swiss next month. it's their first time flying LH, and first time flying since covid started. it's a work trip booked through the office agency, and we've had past experiences where the agency has failed to communicate dietary restrictions and make the appropriate arrangements. we usually pack something for the outbound trip, but that won't be an option for the return.
while we will contact LH directly regarding the meal situation, can anyone tell me how good LH is with restricted diet meals, and whether they provide decent options or substitutes? for example, i know some airlines offer vegan options, but might not understand that "nondairy" means no butter as well as no milk, and we have had issues with places that confuse vegan with vegetarian, which often includes cheese.
the flight is booked in "business (P)" class, if that matters or helps. thanks!

I am just curious if I can ask for refund taxes (I heard something about it but never experienced) back when I am not flying my LH flight. Has anyone experiences with this, how to request please? thx
Rebooking is too expensive and price of ticket quite low.

Is Luftansa business lounge accepting expired Vouchers?
I'm flying through FRA outbound and YVR inbound and return through YYZ. I would like to use the BL voucher in FRA. Does anyone know if they are waiving expiration dates? It's only going to be 5 days expired and I was unable to use for most of 2020 since lounges were closed or limited in service. Thanks!

Hi all, we are in need of advise here. Our flight back in July from Berlin was cancelled due to a technical issue and we were rebooked on a later date. The gentleman at the service deskt told us to contact LH since we are due compensation under EU 261. I contact LH in July already to asked about the compensation but did not hear back from them since. It is over two month now.
Do you suggest I should wait a bit longer or just hand it over to one of those online "flight right lawyers"? I used them a couple of times before and it worked just fine, but I'd prefer to handle it with Lufthansa directly.

Remind LH of this (getting in touch with lurkers on here should work fine), if still no reply, involve Luftfahrt-Bundesamt.

Booked Business Saver on my flight in 1 PNR: FRA-LHR-FRA for €300
LH policy is no refund paid to business saver. If i reissue ticket change date and fare class to Business Flex. Paid fare diff €100 plus €35 fees.
Then decided to refund the ticket, would i get €400 back?
