I am now watching the availability for 21.01 on EWR-MUC route.
If on the domnestic leg IAH-EWR I was able to select the seats from the elite zone with a silver level on the EWR-MUC segment this zone is shown as ocuppied...however when I try to book a flight on co.com I can see a lot of available seats also in the elite area.

Does that mean that with silver level I can select elite seats only on domestic segment?

I thought silvers get elite seating on all flights...maybe I'm wrong...

I found another intersting thing with the availability on CO106 for 21.01.

If I select only the EWR/MUC segment I can see a lot of empty seats also in elite economy area.

If I select the whole IAH/MUC segment I cannot see all that empty seats in economy elite area and overall there are less seats available.

Why does this happen? any ideas?

Just to mess with you since you put everything in bold for no apparent reason. ;)

It is a direct flight with a stop in EWR so the seat assignments will show differently for through customers versus those on only one segment or the other.

Sorry for the bold :) I pushed it accidentally.

For me this situation is strange. Which is then the real availability for EWR/MUC?

sbm12 Jan 18, 2011 2:25 pm

Do you want to know which seats are available to be assigned or how many are for sale. As noted previously, the two necessarily differ in most situations.

as far as I can see this route is doing pretty well.
on a tuesday and the flight co106 (EWR-MUC segment) is fully booked as shown in flight standby list...

have you had any bump experience on this flight so far?

If you mean by today there's 76 available seats for sale on EWR-MUC...:D

flymexico2010 Jan 18, 2011 2:35 pm

I wanted to know how many seats are available....as I can see there is a lot of availability....

For sale or to be assigned?

The answer may be quite different.

flymexico2010 Jan 18, 2011 3:30 pm

It would be nice to know how many seats for sale...

Does anybody here know when do elite seats on continental flight open for lufthansa *S elite?
Does that really happen or is reserved only for continental elite?

There are no special seating privileges for *S on CO flights. You can get "elite" seats when OLCI opens but you still have to pay for ELR seats.

flymexico2010 Jan 20, 2011 12:19 pm

What happens if I am also *S on continental, select the free(?! I can select it for free as far as I see it) exit row seat and then change to the M&M card? will the seat stay with that selection?

I checked my reservation on pda continental and I can see my exit row selection.
If I check it on co.com I see my old selection.
Really do not understand why this happens?

sbm12 Jan 20, 2011 12:35 pm

A CO Silver can get ELR for free inside the OCLI window. If you want to credit to LH then check in with the CO # on the res and get the seats you want then change the FF# to the LH one at a kiosk. Should keep the seats and switch the credit no problem.
