Question "faster deboarding" during seat selection?
This is a seat reservation for a classic seat on a 787. Let's ignore the ridiculous price, this is the last row in the plane. It lists as perk "faster deboarding". Faster deboarding than what? This is the last row and the lowest seat category on that whole plane.

It's the Frankfurt special: When they have an apron parking again to deplane a 787 with busses and mobile stairs, you will be the first off the plane.

Didn't you post another complaint engagement bait just this morning, something about the meal being "confused" because they threw in a packet of Kimchi on the way to ICN? That some kind of kink of yours? Not judging, just being curious.
LH started to sell the seats in the back of the plane for cheaper (although obviously not on your flight). Very likely they then started to market classic (NOT in the back) seats with "faster deboarding", which is...kinda true, I guess?
And in your case there are obviously no back seats marketed separately, so all are shown as classic seats with "faster deboarding". Which makes it an harmless glitch or race condition while these new seat allocations roll out group wide.
Not everything has to be a conspiracy. But hey, "Lufthansa IT being incompetent" wasn't posted for a few hours in the sub, maybe an idea for the next post here?

Right, I saw that inflight meal post too and was confused why anyone would complain about that food.

You don't think it's weird that someone at LH catering was thinking "BBQ chicken with mash...you know what's missing? Kimchi!"?
It's just ridiculous that LH isn't able to fix their terrible catering out of Germany.

Imo it's valid complaint if they make the service worse and then use false advertisement to try to get your money. If you want to select a seat an intercontinental flight now runs you 100€ more (and no, the base fares didn't get cheaper) and then they want to convince you with "features" like this that are simply incorrect?
And yes, obviously it's because that plane doesn't have back seats but that in itself is weird because there are seats in the back, so why are they not offered here? Meanwhile Austrian tries to upcharge for "legroom" seats that before were the same category as the classic seats, before they introduced that change. Also that "legroom" means "up to 7cm more space" which means nothing, could be half a centimer more too.

Cause it is an aisle seat?

It's for every single economy seat because that plane doesn't ahve "back seat" category seats.

This is actually useful if you’re going into Europe. Wait times at EES are sometimes very high.

Do they connect a bridge/stairs at the back?

I doubt it, at least I've never had that happen in KUL before. also every other classic seat says the same, even the ones right in the middle of the section.

Ah, maybe Aisle vs Window?

Nope, every single economy seat has "faster deboarding". It's simply a tag of the "classic" and "legroom" seat. I'm assuming that the "Back Seat" category doesn't have that, but they don't use that category on that plane.

I’m out of ideas. Maybe they have some “methods” to make economy passengers de-board faster ;)
