Hi,
Managed to grab some flights too Moscow for the football this week and managed to find a good deal on Premium Economy (LHR-Warsaw-DME) in fare class R which was fully refundable / changeable.
I believe I get lounge access so any good recommendations for LHR T2 & Warsaw lounges? Also any little 'tips' to make the most out of the trip?
Lastly if I do want to change my return flight I can't seem to do this online, is phoning them the only way?

Concerning the above queries: I think you would only be able to access the Lufthansa lounge at Heathrow (T2A), bearing in mind that there is a fee for this though (same at Warsaw, Polonez lounge within Schengen only and access at a fee); lastly, you will have to call should you wish to make amendments to your ticket, the website will barely let you check-in and nothing else unfortunately (see also the above comments on the manage my bookings' section).

Firstly, good luck with the football (whoever you will be supporting)

Also is there a 24 hour ticketing line to make changes? I can see there is a 24 hour number on the website but it is unclear what this can / can't be used for

For those attending the Gdańsk do, I will attempt to get in touch with Stary Maneż (https://starymanez.pl/browar-vrest) in order to book a table for Saturday (@yurtripper - I have just checked their website and they will be showing the match); the pub is located not far from the Wrzeszcz train station (roughty 10 minutes walk from Galeria Bałtycka) and within the Garnizon development but surely the locals will know the area better than I do. PM to follow during the forthcoming week.
P.S.: I've been there before and I'm sure you will all like it, beer garden also available (weather permitting).

BTW, I'm hoping that the 7M8 for those of us doing WAW-GDN (LO3837) will be LVD (the one with the special livery).

Bolero lounge is 130 pln (also accepts Priority Pass and other programmes) and is in non-schengen zone should you wish to avoid going through the immigration twice...

IIRC, when I add my LO reservations to my LH profile, the passport data fills in automatically at check-in (one of the LH features that actually seems to actually work well).
Where I typically get into problems is when I try to board an LH flight with non-LH boarding pass stock. LH seems to not be particularly trustful of other airlines doing the doc check before allowing one to board one of their international flights. LH seems to like to do their own doc checks, which maybe makes sense since they are responsible for verifying travel documents when then transport someone internationally.

LO reservations with no LH involvement don't 'load' onto LH's website anymore... it seems LO wanted my emergency contact details which LH had not collected. Maybe its a Canada requirement. I had the same issue with SAS ex Germany checkin in with LH.

How recent is this enhancement (that LO reservations don't 'load' onto LH.com)? My last experience was mid-June (13./14.). Seemed to work fine then. Ticket was purchased late May.

We've had pretty much a month of no rain, sunny, 25 degrees. In the Netherlands! A month straight!
Literally the last time it rained was June 2nd.
