Travel-Dealz: [translated from German by Google] "Lufthansa is always finding new ways to generate additional revenue. It is also cutting back on services that were previously taken for granted. Until recently, checking in on time guaranteed a free choice of almost all available seats. Two years ago, this option was removed: Anyone who booked the Economy Light fare within Europe is now assigned a fixed seat - and has to pay for every change."
"Now this unpopular rule is being expanded again. From August 13th, it will also apply to all long-haul flights with Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian. Anyone who has booked the Economy Light fare will be allocated a seat by the system at check-in - and anyone who is not happy with this will have to pay at least €28 for a change. Only from the Economy Basic fare (including baggage) is a free seat selection at check-in possible."
This applies to existing bookings.
