Not sure if this is the right thread, but does anybody know what rules LH currently applies to seat-blocking? I booked an intra-Europe flight with LH in Eco and upgraded the outbound using the bid-program and the inbound by paying the fixed upgrade offer. When I had seats in Eco I could select only the regular seats for free, and when I did, the seat next to me stayed open. After the upgrade, when selecting a seat, the other seat in business in that row went to blocked and could not be reserved anymore. I purchased the upgrades mostly because I no longer have any *A status and wanted lounge access plus since both are late flights, to be out of the plane as quickly as I can. So no status comes into play here. However before the changeover I had 2 status stars - would that be a reason why LH is blocking neighboring seats in Business, or do you have any other idea why this happens? Just curious why this happens...

If your blocks are more than 72 hours before departure then I have no idea

A330 (version3) 'second ' business class cabin rows 10-11. Does anyone have any thoughts about pros /cons on the smaller second section of the LH A 330 Business cabin- with just 2 rows of seats. Long Haul Flight DFW FRA. I like a smaller, more intimate cabin in general.
I read complaints about warm cabins on LH equipment, is that really a problem ? (we run hot). I have the choice of forward section or aft section of this Biz class cabin. As an av-geek, I love to sit closer to the rear section to observe the service. Any advantages to the middle 2 seats? Does anyone know the order of service for meals- such as Odd flight numbers start at front to back and Even number flights start service back to front, etc? Thank you all so much for your reading this and kind responses.

Middle pair will allow both pax aisle access, no need to step over the neighbor as is required for the window seats. Middle pair also has the "footsie" layout but if traveling with your partner that's obviously not an issue.
Temperatures can be high indeed so don't wear warm sweaters.
