Seat booking fee on Lufthansa / Swiss air
score:5
For Lufthansa, yes, this is normal, and it isn't related to booking through Priceline. I encountered this same fee on a Lufthansa flight I took a few months ago, which was booked directly on the airline's website.
Note that this fee is optional. If you don't pay it, you will still be able to choose your own seats when you check in, starting 23 hours before departure. Of course, you will not have as many choices.
This is all explained on the Lufthansa website. See also Does Lufthansa allow you to choose seats for free during checking-in online? on this site.
I am not sure whether SWISS is the same. They are owned by the Lufthansa Group so I would not be surprised if they have a similar policy.

It is generally a norm among low-cost company airlines, ticket price is low but the seat choice is extra (as well as food).
You can choose your seat for USD 35 (probably even more for extra leg room, or windows seat), or let the company automatically choose one for you.
They will automatically select one for you when you check-in.

Notice that if you check-in really early, you will have the "crappiest" ones, as they keep the best ones (meaning 1A) for the end, in case someone choose to pay for it.
