Lufthansa online check-in: the opening time and seat decision

Do not replace that current opening time with an older general rule for another airline. Seat selection during check-in depends on what you already booked. Lufthansa assigns an unreserved seat at check-in, and changing that assignment may cost extra depending on fare and category. Under the stated conditions, a previously reserved seat can be changed to the same or a lower category without an additional check-in seat-change charge. Check the seat category before accepting a change. Lufthansa describes a category entitlement rather than a guarantee of one particular seat number. Review the boarding pass and the airport instructions for your actual journey after completion. This online check-in information does not establish how to cancel completed check-in or change the flight itself.
