You can change your seat online at Miles&More. Just look at "my bookings" and then "select your seat or change seat reservation"

The OP did not specify routing and class of service. Passengers without M&M status cannot book seats in advance on LX shorthaul flights in Y from what I understand.
As a SEN, the OP should be fine. I find that the LX call center is the best way to do it (incl. priority seats).

I booked shorthaul Business Saver flights for later in the year on the Swiss UK website. There was no option to select seats during online booking.
I can view my booking on the LX website but there's no seat reservation. Could it be because it's a Business Saver ticket?

If you are on a restricted economy fare, call SWISS first to make the reservation and you might be able to view and change it after online.
Obviously there are seats reserved for those with Sen or Hon status.

I believe this has been discussed a couple of times on this forum - LX DOES NOT use Ama - they use an EDS (now part of HP) system (more or less the same system, that has been used by Swissair). If there is no LH/LO/OS/JP/OU/TG/JK/JJ/BD/SK-operated segment in the itinerary, THERE WILL BE NO AMADEUS RECORD LOCATOR created.

So is it only possible to pull LX reservation into my M&M account if it includes a non-LX segment listed above or the ticket has been issued by one of the other carriers?

At Christmas I booked a GVA-ZRH-TXL and return on all LX metal and was surprised to see an Amadeus PNR visible in LH and M&M. Ah, I thought, finally LX has integrated its EDS with that of its parent company.
Wrong, my latest booking, a GVA-LHR, doesn't exist outside LX.
I suspect that as the TXL flights are code-shared with LH, there has to be someway for LH and LX to share reservations, which is why the reservations get allocated an Amadeus PNR.

Yes, if you book through a TA using Amadeus, or through another airline using Amadeus (such as BD), there will also be an Amadeus PNR even if it's all LX segments.

I got mine from Luftie, not from Swiss, who were quite rude.
So the real answer is, THERE WILL BE AN AMADEUS RECORD LOCATOR, EVEN IF YOU'RE JUST FLYING SWISS!!!
