Lufthansa and its Austrian Airlines subsidiary agreed to sell advance seat assignments via the Amadeus global distribution system.

To be implemented "in the coming weeks," the deal will enable subscribers in 63 markets to "book advance seat reservations in Economy Class for travelers flying on domestic and European routes," according to Amadeus. "Additionally, passengers will be able to purchase seats offering extra legroom both on continental and intercontinental routes." Amadeus noted that both airlines have adopted the Electronic Miscellaneous Documents standard for ancillary booking fulfillment.
