Are there any plans for LX to go to 1-2-1 layout?
So I am flying GVA-ZRH-SFO. Does that mean when I can check in for the flights, I should be able to pick?
GVA flight departs 3 hours before the ZRH-SFO flight.
Also I'm currently in Annecy, which is less than an hour drive from GVA but apparently ZRH is one hour ahead.

no plans to go 1-2-1 on the 777 as far as I know.

OK, I checked manage booking and it still displays the 23 hours message.
But when I check in online, it has a page to select seats and I was able to grab 16A. 11A and 7A were also available as well as 17K.
Odd, I tried sending mobile pass both to email and phone and it gets internal server error so I will need to get it printed as well as baggage tag since I don't have access to a printer where I'm staying.

You can‘t grab seats for free outside the check-in window which is T-24 (unless you through check from another flight, then typically T-36, which could be the indicator why the throne seat was taken). Ever since LX moved from the PARS System in 2016 and DCS in 2017 (I worked for the IT provider) to Amadeus/Altea you cannot book seats within these 48 hours as I have noticed. I presume they do not have a common seat map to handle the situation as the former system did (unbelievable actually). Seating and re-seating is generally still a big issue at Amadeus, they cannot handle this well enough.

Frankly I also do not understand that throne seats are overhyped... because they have a more tight footwell, I find them rather inconvenient, in particular during sleeping
good is the bulk head throne seat, which has a larger footwell....I do not mind the proximity to galley and lavatory

LX and LH having seating issues
Although I am SEN, I am unable to book the "stared" preffered seats in a reservation.
I made another mileage booking and am also unable to block the preferred seats. i called up the M&M team and the agent was also unable to book the available preferred seat. He told me they are having lots of seating issues since many weeks (if not months), and he has to send in a request to have them blocked.
Just FYI should you be wondering. I presume everyone will have these issues.

throne seats on LX 777 have a pretty tight footwell, right? do the bulk head seats (7A and 4A) have a larger footwell (like for example on OS)?
the throne seats are still free to reserve for HON and SEN, right?

Narrow foot wells only for seats that are directly behind the table between the two seats in a pair. Only thrones have this therefore but not the bulkheads.
NB on the airbus fleet, the single K seats are not thrones so don’t have this issue. However, half of them are open to the aisle instead.
