Lufthansa from April 28 will charge €25 for advance seat selection for long-haul passengers ticketed in certain economy classes.

The charge will apply to those opting to select their seats who have booked in W, S, T, L and K classes. The airline in November began levying a €10 fee for advance seat selection on short-haul flights. Lufthansa does not charge for seat selection within 23 hours of departure and waives the fee for elite-level members of its loyalty program.
