Changing a Lufthansa seat before or during check-in

A higher-priced selection can require a price difference; choosing a lower-priced option does not by itself establish a refund. At check-in, distinguish a previously reserved seat from an automatic assignment. Under Lufthansa’s stated conditions, changing a previously reserved seat to the same or a lower category does not carry an additional check-in seat-change charge. Changing an automatically assigned seat can cost extra depending on the fare and category. Lufthansa describes a seat-category entitlement, not a guarantee of one particular seat number. Check whether you are buying a front-of-cabin location or extra legroom: Preferred Zone describes location, while legroom is a separate characteristic. Review the replacement category and the displayed charge before confirming, especially after an aircraft or schedule change.
