LH bid for Premium Economy
 

I'm booked in coach for a trip from DEN-MUC in early December on Lufthansa, aircraft is an A333.

At the time of booking, I placed a bid for an upgrade to Premium Economy and I paid a $35 fee to select an aisle seat for my existing reservation in coach.

The Premium Economy seating on the A333 is 2-3-2.

If my upgrade goes through, will my selection of an aisle seat have any bearing on the Premium Economy seat, or am I taking the chance that I could end up in the middle or window?

Having an aisle seat is important enough to me that I might cancel the bid if I could end up in a middle or window, even in Premium Economy.

I'll call and ask LH at some point, but wanted to ask here as well.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Not sure, but I'd be concerned that the $35 fee could be lost if you get the upgrade.

As I suspected, my bid wasn't high enough so I'm unable to answer my own question.

However, there were loads of empty seats in economy class, so I was able to score a whole row (two seats) to myself.

All things considered it was a pretty comfortable flight, and the food was surprisingly good.

I've placed a bid for the return flight next week, but suspect it won't go through either.

Have fun, Mel!
