Im in a bit of a dilemma here.
When I enter my booking at lufthansa.com in order to chose seats, I get a pretty disappointing choice.
I have my SEN number in the booking, so could anyone help my explaining why my choices are so limited? And who should I call? Or perhaps the cabin is simply just already full?

My choices are as following:

LX160 ZRH-NRT April 27:
4G, which I have chosen, but i get this message after a few minutes: 4G (not possible/cancelled). Also I can chose 6G, 7DG, 9AB, and 9, 10 and 11 DG. Not really a great choice as im traveling alone, not ONE K seat or single A seat is available.

LX161 NRT-ZRH May 1:
Im in 10A right now, the only available single seat on board. Other options are 4D and 7DG.

What would you do?

Try calling, if you don'y get the answer you want try again.

It really is quite full: But it seems that 14K is free.

What would you do?

Call LX for 4G. For the return, 4D or 10A depends on your preference, a single or one of a double in the minicabin.

Selecting LX seats on LH.com is not advisable. Call the Basel number.

I'd go for 14K on the way out and 10A on the way back.

Thanks to you all for the great advices!

Im considering 14K on the outbound, but im going to need to get some sleep, as the flight arrives early in the morning in Tokyo. So how will the noise from Y be? As i guess it is the last seat in C before Y?

And where do I find the Basel number?

Thanks guys!

Do you expect pax in Y to have parties on board? :rolleyes: They switch lights on in C in the morning far too early compared to F. Use an eye mask and ear plugs and tell the FAs you don't want breakfast if you want to sleep as long as possible.

Log into your M&M account, select Help & Contact > Contact by phone > Switzerland and see if you see a number in Basel.

I were more concerned about babies, as I though the bassinet were right at the first row of Y?
And no, I dont think most of the passengers has parties on board, not in Y or any other cabin. I fly Y mostly my self. I were simply concerned.

Thanks for the help about the Basel no. ^

340-300 C seats
 
Sorry to ask, but first trip in new C on Swiss.
SFO to ZRH, offered 9AB outbound and 11 AB return for myself and my wife.
Are these decent seats? I know the front cabin is closed off to non elites usually.
I'd like to know if there are better options. We prefer window/aisle.

If you want window/aisle, then AB is your only choice. Seats are all the same but keep an eye open to see if 5AB open up.

I need some advice for my upcoming flight in Y on A333.
Haven't been in Y for a while so I'm not sure wheter I should take 23K (First row Y) or 29K (exit row). I'm currently on 29K, but not sure if I should change. Does the seat in exit row 29 have a window or is there no real view because of the door?
Thx for your advice.
