This is interesting. I'm furious with the changes DL recently announced and since a majority of my travel is to/through FRA and MUC I thought I'd look at status matching to either UA or LH. I'm acquainting myself with the online reservations system and simply don't see seat maps or seat selections which makes me a little nervous. I didn't want to go all the way through the booking process without buying a refundable fare, but is there no way to see what seats are available until 24 hours before departure?
