Flights to Johannesburg
I have a First Class flight from London to Johannesburg next Tuesday via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. The return is on Swiss via Zurich. Obviously, I cannot go. Would I have the option of a refund or do I have to take a voucher/re-book. When is the latest that I can ask for any changes as I want to delay in the hope that the flight will be cancelled. I booked the flights in the recent Companion Fare sale and so re-booking would probably cost a lot more.

Best to call the dedicated First Class hotline & ask them what your options are.

If the flights go and you can technically travel but no longer want to, that is what travel insurance is for. Hwever, in case of F pax I would assume LH to be pretty lenient and allow date changes.
