Can I choose my seat on Lufthansa?

Seat selection and advance seat reservation. Regardless of whether it is a window or aisle seat or a seat with more legroom: Lufthansa offers you the opportunity of reserving seats for yourself and your travelling companions in advance or of selecting them at check-in.



Yes, you can choose your seat on Lufthansa, but the cost depends on your fare class and elite status. For those in Business or First Class, seat selection is complimentary at the time of booking. In Economy Class, those on "Classic" or "Flex" fares can often choose a standard seat for free, but those on "Economy Light" fares must pay a fee to select a seat in advance. If you do not choose a seat, one will be automatically assigned to you during check-in, which you can sometimes change for a fee. For maximum comfort, Lufthansa offers "Preferred Zone" seats at the front of Economy and "Extra Legroom" seats for a premium. Frequent flyers with HON Circle or Senator status can generally reserve these premium seats free of charge.
