Hey there

Is anybody else having issues with seat reservation that don't stick on Swiss.com?
On my ZRH-DXB leg for example I try to assign myself 1A, but every time once I have returned to the booking page it has booted me back to 2K.
On my fight to NUE it's the same: We are 3 travelling and had the first row in Y: 10A, 10C, 10D. Now it bumps us like that every single time: 10A->12C, 10C->12D and 10D -> 11D. What is up with that? We have already lost the first few rows now because of that and to sit together we'd need to move even further back.
On the return two of them stick, but mines is always switched one row back. (9D -> 10D).

It's so annoying.

773 in Y
 

had 23J on the 330 but eqp swamp and now it will be the 773 , assigned 22D aisle middle bulkhead. Leg room wise is 23B gonna give me more room then 22D? Prefer 23C cant get thru but Id rather be in 23B if it affords more leg room then 22D asile

hello, i have an C flight monday, it's exactely when that Swiss stops charging for the throne seats?

48h prior to the departure?

i'm flying LX 93 GRU-ZRH Monday 18h15

Correct.

scored 5K on the mini cabin...

but it has one window only... though decisions haha :confused:

My wife and I are currently seated in 5 A & B on 777. Does 4A have this much more legroom? I might snag it T-48. Could you describe in inches how much more legroom 4A would have over 5A? I am 6'6' so this might be worth it for sleeping.

6'6" - you will regret not having switched to 4A if you had the choice but stayed in 5A. I am 6'5" and would never go for anything else if I had the choice between any seat in bulkhead vs. any other seat in the C cabin. It's not really about "legroom", as the seat is the same lenght, but more about "footrom". You will not be able to move / turn your feet inside the footwell in 5A if your feet are anywhere near the size of mine (and I guess at 6'6 they would be ;)).

I can't give you measurements in inches, but I can describe it as "bench vise vs. open closet". In terms of volume (width x height x depth) I think the bulkhead footwells are probably 3 times bigger. I think I posted pictures of one of the bulkhead footwells upthread, I have one of my 2-year-old daughter sitting within one of them. :D

Edit to add: pics are in post #1024

Thanks for the detailed and quick response! I now need to convince my wife us sitting next to each other won't be a big deal. Any clue if the flight crew would care if I booked 4A and sat next to my wife during meal service in the open seat of 5A?

Sitting in 5A would certainly not be an issue if it remained empty. I would definitely not count on that, though. There's a good chance someone else would take that empty window seat in the Stübli (mini cabin) at check-in or at the gate.

Very true. It has remained open so far and we fly in one week but I know for a fact my wife doesn't want to sit next to a stranger so that my footwell could be bigger. I'll probably just keep my current seat and suck it up.

Those are unfortunately taken already. I booked back in Feb and those were the only seats taken at the time.

Business class seat selection
 

I just got upgraded via the swiss bargain upgrade bidding on JFK -> Zur next week. I tried to select my new seat on Swiss.com and the map allowed me to pick a seat but everytime I log back on the seat is de-selected.


When deciding to bid, I remember seeing that if your bid gets accepted, you must abide by the seat assigned to you by Swiss Air. I can't remember where I read this or whether it is true but is this the case? Will I be able to request whichever seat is available upon the 48 hours till check in window when everyone else in all other classes can select seats or have I now foregone this option in all and the only way to work around this is to pay the $200 for a throne seat?
