This reduces costs. It also makes us more likely to select Lufthansa for future flights, this increases revenue.

If you see that I have some sort of seat, let me select one myself and/or pay for a better one. A last name and Lufthansa record locator should be really all that is ever required to access the booking info.

Several days after the issue was resolved through email, I received a phone call (today) from an executive at the NY HQ of LH making sure that everything had been resolved to my satisfaction. Very nice and very helpful. So going to the top worked for me.
