Passengers will soon be paying money at Lufthansa for seat reservations in the Premium Economy - just like in Economy Class.
From mid-September, this service will be chargeable on long-haul flights, a spokesman for the airline confirmed a report by the magazine "fvw". So far, seat reservations in the Premium Economy as well as in Business and First Class have been free of charge for Lufthansa and the Austrian AUA.
The new fee will start on 18 September. Depending on the route between 35 euros and 55 euros for the reservation of a seat in the Premium Economy due. For some booking systems, another 5 euros will be added. Seat reservations for economy class flights are already chargeable - from 12 to 100 euros may be due, depending on the route and space requirements.
According to the company, the seat reservation is still free of charge at check-in. Passengers can continue to secure their seat at check-in 23 hours before the flight at no additional cost.
