Ticket stock can be LH  or LX or OS.  You can combine fare levels by doing the fares OW at different levels each way. I've purchased them direct from the Lufthansa call centres in Australia.  Even the First level fares are excellent value, although I find it cheaper and easier to book Business fares and upgrade the sectors which are operated also in First Class.  There are many nuances and in my experience, it is difficult to find a travel agent who fully understands the fares, and if you are planning to upgrade you have to be very careful which booking class is used for the particular segment you would like to upgrade, eg UA, SQ LH LX if you plan to use united Globals or LH/LX Evouchers, or UA/LH/SQ Star Alliance upgrade Awards Also as the fares are flexible, and changes are free, you may find a travel agent wil lcharge you to make changes and pocket the fees.  Commission is built into fares, and again you may find travel agents pocketting extra if fares are quoted at higher levels, as i have found in the past.  The other great thing about this fares is that baggage allowance if uniform at the level of fare you purchase, although in my many many experiences, it can be difficult to get Qantas to respect the fare rules with respect to baggage allowance. Also destinations and origins can be open jawed , and there are n ocredit card surcharges, although again you may find a travel agent may pocket credit card surcharge fees. And finally, you are not limited to using Qantas as a domestic feeder, you can also use Virgin Australia</p></blockquote><p></p>
