Passengers, who book flights in the lowest-price booking classes, can reserve their preferred seat from the end of November for a fee of ten euros. Such reservations, which were previously not possible, will now be on offer as an additional option. Passengers without an advance seat reservation can naturally still choose a seat free-of-charge at the check-in during the usual 23 hours prior to flight departure.
Additionally from the end of November, passengers can make surcharged reservations in seats with more legroom, which are usually in the rows adjacent to the emergency exits in the aircraft cabin. These seats are spaced farther apart from the seat row in front. They have hitherto been allocated only at the check-in at the airport terminal and could not be reserved beforehand. On European flights, Lufthansa will charge per route 20 euros for these exit row seats and 60 euros on intercontinental flights.
All the aforementioned additional services remain free-of-charge for HON Circle Members and Senators as well as companions travelling with them.
Aside from sales through the Lufthansa Service Center and at Lufthansa ticket counters, these seat reservations from 26 November can initially only be made at travel agencies – they will also be available online from spring 2014 for flights booked at www.lufthansa.com.
