I was going to call LH this weekend to see if I can get a seat in the middle section so nobody is climbing over me in the middle of the night. It sounds like it might be a call in vain. The flight isn't until September, so I'm hoping that I clear into F and it won't be an issue.
I was in the Senator Lounge in MUC today and asked the agent if she could assign me a J seat for the JNB-FRA leg, which is still waitlisted for F. The flight isn’t until September, but, I figured it was worth a shot. The agent pulled up my info, and…bingo! Aisle seat in the center section. Of course, I’m hoping my efforts were wasted.
