Nur mal so am Rande, innerdeutsche bzw. innereuropäische Anschlussflüge zur Langstrecken in Buchungsklasse A buchen sowieso in höchster Business Buchungsklasse J. Was die Buchungsklasse angeht gibt es hier wohl nichts zu verbessern. Von daher verstehe ich nicht, wieso diese Anschlussflüge auf einmal restriktiv sind. Wie von mir schon geschrieben war das bisher nicht so, oder ich hatte einfach immer nur Glück und kompetente Betreuung in der FCL in MUC und am LX First Ticketschalter in ZRH.
Der Teufel liegt im Detail. Die €410 change fee greift, wie folgt:
"A CHANGE IS A DATE/FLIGHT/ROUTING/BOOKING CODE CHANGE." und " CHANGE FEE APPLIES FOR EVERY SINGLE CLOSED REISSUE/REVALIDATION/REBOOKING TRANSACTION."
Somit ist LH durchaus innerhalb der Regeln, dass der J Zubringer gegen Gebühr umgebucht werden muss.
Doof, steht aber so drin.
Der von Dir erwähnte restrcitive ARCDE21W Tarif hat folgende Regeln: A (First) RC (restrictive changes im Gegensatz zu FF fully flexible), 21 Tage Vorausbuchungsfrist.

Jetzt verstehe ich endlich die Intention der Lufthansa dahinter - die waren viel zu kundenfreundlich und nicht umsatzorientiert.
