Sorry if this issue was covered earlier in this thread, but I couldn't find the answer. Last month I had a UA res LHR-FRA-EWR, and found I couldn't select my LH seats on line until 12am the day of my flight. Next week I'll have a similar trip MAD-FRA-EWR. Is this the norm? Or is there some way to select my coach seat any earlier. The LH website said it should be available 24 hrs before, but when I attempted to do that, I got a message that web seat selection was unavaible, and that I had to check in at a LH office. Yet at midnight on the day of my flight the seat selection for both flights 'magically' opened up. (I am *A Gold, if that matters)
PS - when I was finally able to get into the seat selection, I found they had assigned me the very last row on both flights, despite lots of other coach seats being available. So I was able to change to more desirable seats, but I'd prefer to do that earlier rather than later.

Thank you for the link, it helped to know I wasn't the only one confused by LH. Unfortunately, most of the cheaper EWR-TALT on UA now have a LH codeshare, so I'll just have to live with the inconvenience.

Seatguru and Lufthansa show this as an exit row with extra legroom. Seatguru says no storage during takeoff, but there are seats in fron, so why not? Can anyone tell me more. I have 26c. Thanks!

Row 26 (as well as row 11) is indeed an exit row and you are not allowed to store hand luggage under the seat in front of you during takeoff and landing. Sometimes FAs 'reserve' overhead storage space for passengers in exit rows but not always.

Thanks! Otherwise desirable seat (26c)?

NewbieRunner

I wouldn't pay to sit in 26C but it certainly has more leg room than other aisle seats.

Been scouring the thread and I apologize in advance if it's been covered but am a lowly Y passenger

I have booked 98A +C on a A380 and 40H +K on a A340-600. Do these seats recline fully? I chose them because there'd be no one behind. I am aware the seats on the 346 are the last row but in front of the galley (wall? or none?). Would the last row in Y, 58H +K have a wall or also would be exposed to the galley?

I am still able to swap seats at this time without charge.


Again, many thanks in advance to everyone.

I have not flown the LH A330 in Business without F. Any thoughts on bulkhead row vs mid-cabin? I am looking at side aisle and thought perhaps the bulkhead has larger footwells or easier climbing room for the window seat to get to the aisle?

No difference with the other bulkheads on the A333, whether with F or not.

The bulkhead footwell is closed in by the IFE screen above in the bulkhead, where it is open on other seats. The space is large enough not to notice the difference though. For climbing over you have more grip with the bulkhead than with a seat in front though that’s primarily a benefit for who would otherwise be in front of you.

The other difference between bulkhead and other seats is the shared magazine pocket between the two footwells but I can’t imagine that being a big deal.

First time flying the A350 from MUC-TLV this Friday in Y, Expertflyer shows most of row 28 as blocked (for all A350 MUC-BOS flights)...does any one know how it's possible to get 28A\K?

Flying in row 1 on LH 747-400.
I understand that there are no overhead lockers for that row. We won't be carrying 'cabin-max' cases but probably small holdall (flight bag) or small backpack.
Is there anywhere in that row to store small bags in order to avoid accessing other row's overhead lockers during the flight?

Thanks for that; do LH CC allow small bags to be under the bulkhead footrests for take-off and landing?

Hi all,

flying on LH415 IAD-MUC, 330-300 with 2-class config. I have the choice between 11A/K and 5K. It seems that 5K is close to galley and lav, while row 11 is directly in front of PE. Any experience and advice?

Thanks,
haggis
