Dear LH Lurker,
I just booked a coshare flight on united using LH to Prague and Swiss coming home. I was not able to book seats for any of these flights. I was told there was no seat map and to call the airline. CS at LH told me I can't book seats until 24hrs in advance. My friend booked directly with LH and got seats already. What can I do to get a seat? This is for travel in October. |
Dear LH Lurkers,
I have a question regarding the checked baggage allowance on TATL flights. I believe the MSC concept applies on LH flights and those operated by its TATL partners. Let's assume I'm flying DUS-LHR(LH)-YYZ(AC). As an AC Super Elite member I'm entitled to 3x32kg in Y on AC operated flights. Will LH honour this allowance on the DUS-LHR feeder flight per the MSC rules or will it apply the regular *G allowance (regular 1x23kg + 1x23kg for *G members)? Thanks in advance! |

This is for travel in October. unfortunately, the chargeable advance seat reservation is only possible for tickets issued on Lufthansa ticket stock. As of now, it’s technically not possible to add seat assignments to other airlines‘ bookings. That’s why I can not offer an alternative way for you to get a seat reservation that much in advance. In this case, indeed, you’ll have to use the online check-in available approxximately 24 hours in advance. Regards, Katharina |

Thanks in advance! in your case, the MSC rule defines AC’s Free Baggage Allowance to apply on your entire journey, also on the LH-operated flight DUS-LHR. However, this rule refers to the regular free baggage allowance for *G members only, the individual allowance of 3x32kg on AC-operated flights won’t be honoured at the LH check-in. Best regards, Katharina |

Regards, Katharina I would like a clarification on your statement, as things *used* to be different earlier. (When I was flying on Lufthansa with United ticket stock) We used to be able to make seat assignments for LH flight numbers, LH flights (no code-shares involved), despite being on United ticket stock. Is this now not the case? If so, this is also one more reason not to fly on LH segments to the US. (Above and beyond the only 100% P-class mileage one accrues + other factors...) Thanks, SuperFlyBoy |

Best regards, Katharina That's somewhat disappointing, but it's good to know LH won't honour the more generous baggage allowance. If I may add a follow-up question: How about a DUS-LHR(LH Y)-YYZ(AC C) itinerary? The regular TATL C baggage allowance would be 2x32kg, and a *G member would get 3x32kg. Would LH honour that baggage allowance for the feeder flight in Y per the MSC rules? |
Hi Jasper2009,
even though booked in Economy class on the feeder flight DUS-LHR, the MSC applies and you are given the *G free baggage allowance for Business class ( 3 bags up to 32kg) for all flight segments. Katharina |

Thanks, SuperFlyBoy Lufthansa introduced Chargeable seats on Intercontinental flights in April 2014. Passengers who hold a flight reservation in booking classes W, S, T, L and K are since able to reserve a seat in advance against the charge of 10€ / 15$. Furthermore, we offer the reservation of legroom seats against a charge of 70€ / 100$ to all passengers holding an Economy ticket. With my previous statement I referred to these options, when I advised that this, as of now, is technically only possible for tickets on LH ticket stock. Holding a ticket with OAL, let‘s say on United stock, you still can reserve a seat free of charge, if you are booked in one of the higher classes, as the chargeable booking process does not apply here. Let me add, that the seat reservation for HON Circle members, Senators and companions still remains to be booked without fee in all booking classes. Best regards, Katharina |

Best regards, Katharina Sorry but let us be very precise, I fell into the trap of this description. Free seat reservations for Hons are limited to two companions who have to be in the same itinerary and in the same cabin class. If you have a family of 4 or 5 or have parts of your immediate family travel in a different cabin class you are S.O.O.L. Great enhancement! Thanks, LH. Greetings from the Emirates First Lounge at DXB, where I just finished my EK Platinum run. |

I would also appreciate the summary of the changes, not elucidated in the same e-mail to me.

+1 for a summary from here too.
Other companies like DKB definitely can do it. And they put the summary right into the information email. |
