LH F Sweet Spot fares

I've been looking around for LH F prices and the cheapest I can find is €2600 (OTA) or €2700 (direct from LH) for CDG-FRA-BOG return trip.

I cannot seem to find any other cheaper fare with LH in F. Is there a caveat? Perhaps older aircraft? Why is it much cheaper than any other route?

Is anyone aware of similar priced LH F routes?

CDG has the lowest F fares currently that are not companion specials, HKG is not much more & Yes, it’s an older aircraft to BOG & not a F heavy route without those deals

There were plenty of F offers from different European cities last month, however with a catch, You have to have companion

So BOG is you best bit if you are flying solo.

Even if the plane is older the product is same on all plane types. It's slightly better on some vs others but hard to compare. A380 has larger bathrooms and closets. 748 has OK bathrooms and closets, also novelty of nose in 748. A346 has neither.

I paid around 2000€ for a LHR->MUC->FRA->PVG LH F flight and PVG->ZHR->LHR LX F return, but it was a companion special.

ATH-HKG for 3.800 € is a bit more expensive, but good availability, even on short notice (like tomorrow)

I paid 6200 EUR today for a business class flight to the US West Coast ex ZRH in Q4 2019 on a D/Z combo. And there is even a CHF 310 change fee! Not exactly a sweet deal .

Wait for good companion fares - I paid around 2000€ for LHR->MUC->FRA->PVG in LH F and PVG-ZHR-LHR in LX F. Your only alternative if you want to fly alone is France, really.

Can anyone tell me how many miles one would earn in that itinerary in F (CDG-FRA-BOG) if you even ad the status miles bonus?

(Sorry but my cellphone is pre-historic and I can't use the miles calculator from LH...)

(2000+500)+(3*5600[ca.])+(5600*0.25)...... (total sum x2 if is it a round trip)

I don't understand the OP. Dear, what is your definition of a sweet spot?

Lowest price for any LH F? Lowest price for an itinerary that includes the FCT? Longest flight-time in F? Highest mileage? Best product (A380 or 747-8i)?

The OP is just too vague which is why replies are random.
