Looking into the expertflyer seatmap and also by requesting through LH SEN Service over the phone the only single seat I can get assigned for ZRHJNB LX 288 or JNBZRH LX 289 is 2K - the other three single seats being blocked - even on flights where no passengers at all are booked in F.

Is this a new general policy for LX F or is this F seat blocking only active for this route ? Until now I have never come across this.

LH used to block on their A340/330 single seat 1K as a bassinet position, but discontinued this policy sometimes in 2007.

Who can explain this LX blocking - do I have the option to call LX reservations in Switzerland to get one of the three blocked single seats assigned ?

Cheers.
