Hi folks,
I am flying on OS from HKG-VIE on a 777. I selected 3K, which is a throne seat, which was free when I used the app.
Upon checking my booking today, I noticed the statement where they charge a fee "once such seat has been selected." I hadn't seen this notice before in the app.
Should I worry, and change my seat to a regular seat, or just do nothing for now? The flight is in March. I can move it to a 2-seat row, and then check at T-48 or whenever to see if thrones are opened up.

Thank you for your reply; just wanted to clarify that I had selected the seat a few months ago, and it remained that way with no messages about future charges. The fee statement only appeared a few days ago.
Just to be safe, I selected 5G, and will check a few days out to see if the thrones are available for selection.
It appears our flight will feature a premium economy section, so it would be interesting to sit in that mini cabin a la the Swiss 777s. Something else for me to think about...

I'm flying BKK-TPE-CDG-DUS next week, BKK-TPE-CDG on EVA Air and CDG-DUS on Eurowings.
Flight from TPE touches down at CDG at 06:40 and the CDG-DUS flight departs at 08:55, both of them at CDG Terminal 1.
I can take two pieces of cabin luggage with me on the TPE-CDG flight because EVA allows this, but Eurowings only allows on piece of cabin luggage and one piece of checked in luggage. This means I have to clear passport control, go to the Eurowings desk and check in my luggage.
Do you guys think this is possible within that amount time?

Was on a similar connection (BR to LH) recently and had plenty of time in the ugly LH lounge at CDG.

Flying LH from GVA to FRA in business (next day connection to ORD in F) with check baggage. How early to arrive by train to the geneva airport station? LH website says 40 min for eco, 30 for biz check in deadline; how much time between the flight departure time and the train arrival time?

Considering winter might mean delays especially from buses I wouldnt cut it that tight myself, though.
