Booking a Lufthansa seat: location, category, and timing

Review the fare and seat category shown for the actual flight instead of assuming that every Economy ticket includes the same choice. Preferred Zone refers to a front-of-cabin location; extra legroom is a separate characteristic. Lufthansa also describes a category entitlement rather than a guarantee of one particular seat number. Choose the feature you need and keep the category description with the receipt. If you do not reserve, Lufthansa assigns a seat at check-in, and moving from that assignment can cost extra depending on fare and category. A previously reserved seat follows a different check-in condition: a move to the same or a lower category does not carry an additional check-in seat-change charge under the stated terms. Check which situation applies before accepting a new payment.
