My Lufthansa boarding pass mentions "Waiting List" instead of my seat number. What does that mean?
When trying to check in online for a Lufthansa flight I see the following warning after completing the process:
Unfortunately we can accomodate you on our waiting list only.
This is quite perplexing as the flight does not appear to be overbooked (I can purchase seats for the same flight online right now). What could be the issue?

In the end it was indeed a case of overbooking. As a premium economy passenger I was offered the option to downgrade to economy for 400 EUR in cash. Economy passengers were offered to fly on the next day for 600 EUR.
There were plenty volunteers for both, so I didn't lose my seat.
