Seat Selection - I class reward booking

Have an I class reward booking.

Manage my booking offers select seat. But when I select seat and click on save it does save the selection.

Is this normal?

Not sure if I understand you, "it does save the selection"?

If your question is "Can I select a seat on a BMI 'I' class fare using the Lufthansa Manage My Booking tool" then the answer is yes - both in domestic Flexible Economy or in a Business Cabin on a midhaul.

The bmi site has a bug (not the only one ) when you try to select a seat on an I class redemption. Whenever I try it seems to work but when you hit the save button it dumps you out back to the page saying you haven't selected any seats yet. Been this way for ages and I'm not holding my breath for a fix.

You used to be able to select seats via the LH site but I'm now not seeing that option either on an upcoming domestic I booking.

If you're keen to reserve a seat you may need to wrestle with the ICC.

I reserved my I class reward seats via the LH website just two weeks ago. Seemed to work like a dream but will find out at Xmas if the seats are still allocated.

Sorry I can't find the link I found in a past post but it was as simple as putting in the name and booking reference, try going to Lufthansa - my bookings and the retrieve single booking window.

Yes (though my experience has only been with a *Gold number in the booking too)

I know it's not quite what was asked, but I've never yet been turned down for a seat assignment on a business redemption when calling the operating airline directly...

Didn't know you could use the LH site, just been on and selected the seats for my BMI flights coming up soon. Interestingly I am off the the states and flying US Airways lhr-phl then phl-den. the seat map on the US site shows different seats avaliable than the LH site does.

Thanks for that info.
