It's $35 for trans Atlantic and $25 for domestic/european. My last trip BOS->MUC->FRA and MUC->BOS would have cost a whopping $95 to reserve seats for the whole thing. | |

| Dec 21, 2017 at 4:17 | comment | added | Martin Argerami | @R..: I know someone who got Premium Economy on a 15-hour flight for not doing the online check-in. That said, more often than not what you'll get is a middle seat. | |

I got it ("see gate attendant for assignment") and was sure I'd been bumped from the flight, only to be greeted with the pleasant surprise "are you able and willing to help in the event of an emergency?" :-) What they were doing was waiting til the last minute to assign me exit row for free in hopes that some other sucker would pay to upgrade to it before I got there. | |

That'll be $70." Something like a "no legroom discount" where luggage gets your legroom instead & you put your feet on top. | |
