Check in with LH if first segment on partner

Hi,
I was trying to check in for my flight tomorrow since the first segment is on TG it will not let me check in.
The error I get is:
XXX does not allow check in please check in at airport....
This is a ticket on 220 ticket-stock.
Will I be able to call LH to ask them to assign seats for the BKK-FRA segment once I am within the 23 hour window for that flight?
Else I it will be very bad - as I was not able to reserve or buy a seatassignment before
I just tried to buy a seatreservation again LH773 for tomorrow 27-03-16
is not even pulling up a seatmap
Does that flight have a problem.....or is it sold out?
Thank you for your help!

Once the flight opens for checkin you cannot access a reliable seatmap via the GDS. You have to checkin with the carrier operating the first segment no way around it.

Maybe you should share it so it can be useful to others!

International call to the SEN hotline in Germany......expensive but worth it in this case

I genuinely don't use my cellphone for calling and use Hangouts when I have to call anytime.

Which comes very handy when I have to call an airline, since I barely speak German even though I live here and calling the US line makes everything so much easier.
