Therefore if the AC tarif books into light, no free seat reservation.
capedreamer booked an AC Latitude fare, a fully flexible ticket that includes carry-on and checked bags, preferred seat assignments, changes, refundability, etc. I'm sure the fare rules are comparable to Economy Flex on LH. There's no reason why LH should be treating an AC Latitude fare (or any other refundable and/or flexible fare for that matter) as an Economy Light ticket. If
capedreamer wanted to, they could change to a different LH flight with just the fare difference. You can't do that on an Economy Light ticket.

Do LH Premium Economy fares have to pay for the intra-Europe segments, too? If so, it (kind of) makes sense that I'd be charged for the intra-Europe LH seats on my SK PY ticket. IMHO, it's still a ridiculous policy, but it's a
bit more understandable.
