Choosing your seat can make or break your flight experience especially on long distance trips. But with airlines tightening perks, it’s important to understand how seat selection works. The answer is not simple. It depends on the type of ticket you’ve bought, the travel route and when you’re selecting the seat. This blog solves all your queries about the Lufthansa seat assignment policy. You can contact Lufthansa at +44 333 0067726 or HolidayGlobes at 020-3657-6653 for additional info.

What is Lufthansa seat selection policy?

When it comes to Lufthansa seat selection policy, it depends on fare, travel class and route. Economy Light passengers get seats assigned at check-in and must pay to change them. Economy Classic, Premium Economy, Business and First-Class fares often include seat selection or offer it for a fee depending on seat type.

Lufthansa seat options include standard, preferred zone and extra legroom. HON Circle Members and Senators get free seat reservations in most classes. Paid reservations are the only way to guarantee family seating. Emergency exit row seats have physical and language requirements—noncompliance may lead to reassignment without refund.

Seat changes within the same or lower category are usually free. Refunds are only given if Lufthansa changes your seat and can't offer a similar alternative.

Does Lufthansa Seat Families Together?

Lufthansa tries to seat families and groups together for free but it’s not guaranteed and depends on availability.

If you don't pick seats in Lufthansa in advance, the airline will automatically assign suitable seats for your family approx. 24 hours before departure. If that’s not possible, children under 14 will be seated with an accompanying adult. To guarantee seats together, reserve them during booking. Fees may apply based on fare or class.

Lufthansa seat selection is free for children in Allegris Business Class, except in the Business Class Suite.

How to Select a Seat on Lufthansa Flights?

To choose seats on Lufthansa, you have several options depending on when and how you want to choose your seat:

·         Book your flight and choose your seat during the booking process if available.

·         If you skip Lufthansa seat selection at booking, go to My Bookings on Lufthansa’s site to select or change your seat before departure.

·         Use online check-in (starting about 23 hours before departure) to confirm or change your seat.

·         Pay any applicable seat selection fees based on your fare and seat choice.

This process ensures you can secure your preferred seat as early as possible or adjust it closer to departure if needed.

Unless you have booked a higher fare class or have elite status, expect to pay if you want to choose your seat early. Lufthansa seat selection policy is made to offer flexibility and comfort based on fare type, travel class and passenger preference. Understanding the policy helps travelers make informed decisions and enhances their overall travel experience.
