strange seatmap [3 class 346 sold as 2 class]

hi,

just checked the seatmap for FRA-DEN on the 26th of november - it shows 1-2-1 in the first 2 rows. Shall I expect F seats?

Cheers

Ben

Looks like 3-class aircarft being sold as 2-class. HON and SEN will have a shot at rows 1&2 during checkin.

Congrats. I guess this will show up more often during the winter schedule with the conversion of all A346 to 3 class planes in progress. With not all planes converted LH probably wants to have some flights were they don't sell F yet so they can be more flexible with short-term equipment substitutions.

maybe, you should just adjust your travel pattern to LH's conversion pattern

now that is odd... on the flights where I am booked (just found some more FRA-DEN's ), rows 1 and 2 are always blocked until my SEN card is in the booking...

I really hope for you, that you don't lough to early. All the sudden changed seat assignments are nothing totally new.

BTW, sitting in the F cabin on such flights still means BIZ service and no use of F lounges. So in the end it is just the better seat and more space, whereas the AVOD is less attractive in the F cabin (for those, who care about that).

and as I learn from you (and fully agree with you) a much better working environment ^

Personally I don't care about AVOD and C service is not that bad at all either. The seat itself makes a hugh difference though as I can get some work done much more conveniently ^

Yeah. I couldn't care less about AVOD and not much about the service. If I'd get the F seat for the price of C I'd even accept Y service and not AVOD at all..

checkmytrip still shows 1A (and 1D and 1G for my family), also I have a booking confirmation from Lufthansa showing these 3 seats.

Im aware that it will "only" be C service but space is important to me. Lets wait and see and hope nothing changes

Yeah, that's the point. It is a much better working environment and a better sleeping environment. However, some people disagree in particular about sleeping and some blame the stone-age AVOD. Which is without any doubt poor. But I don't care about that.

The AVOD Same with SQ in Y

No, nothing keeps me away from working but it is much more convenient to work in F and also much more convenient to work in C compared to Y. And if you have to work with sensible information it is impossible to work in Y and almost impossible in C.

Just for the record: I couldn't care less about AVOD at all
