I will be travelling in a couple of days on LH 440 FRA IAH A380.
I am currently in 60C which should be a bulkhead row or a row with better legroom. Does anybody know this?
ALso as a FTL should I try to call LH and ask for help to be reseated to 76A,K? would they help?
At this moment it does not appear as to be free, but it might me blocked.
THanks

Those rows are only available for SEN (and HON) when reserving online.

This is what a A380 looks like when you're logged in with your SEN/HON account. (It's an existing booking, but it looks the same when you do a reservation while booking itself - this flight being in about 2 months, so it's already quite booked - front to back, as it looks like - from the regular customers in Non-Prefered seats..)
76A seems to be RTW1 already

Yes, of course at the airport, there is no limitation on "SEN/HON" only, as much I know.. if you've a connecting flight, so you're checking in way ahead of most others, there is quite a good chance there are still exit row seats available.
Probably not the "gems" 76A/K, I've been checking, the "other" side is now reserved on 7 from 8 booked A380 flights I've upcoming in the next 6 months, but there is a decent chance for the regular exit row seats in row 75 to still be available. The bassinet seats in row 76D-G seems to be blocked for infants as well - you might also ask for one of these, if there are no babies needing them booked on the flight.
I've a side question here - given I'm usually not bothering very much with online checkin if there is enough time to do at the airport and having baggage, should I still try to checkin online as soon as it becomes available to have my reserved seat really "occupied", or will it be still blocked/reserved for me even if I check in only 1 hour before departure?

The 'preferred' seats are not (supposed to be) available for OLCI, but agents at the airport checkin can give them away to non elites.

Well as I am currently in 60C I am not that stressed, according to seatguru this should be a good seat.
However I would like to try to get a seat in row 75 or 76 because I suppose are better then row 60.

Indeed... though I doubt that the OLCI will allow you to grab exit row seating online...

Well, they are available to *G at OLCI, so little chance anythong left till airport. On the other hand I had no problem reserving exit row seats (including 76 A/K on FRA-JFK) on OLCI as *G
