Qantas app changes seat when checking in?

[ChrisW.]

Happened on Friday and today.

We had row 6 reserved (WP if that matters) and after online check-in boarding pass showed row 9 on Friday and row 5 today. (Which we ended up in, not a big deal for short domestic flights but weird that it changed during check-in)

Is that a new thing? Usually, the seats don't change when checking in for domestic flights and I keep the seats selected month ago.

Had something similar happen to me on a BNE to SYD flight.

Changed seat selection from Row 17 to Row 5 at T-80.

The app put me in Row 6 just before boarding.

Didn’t complain for one row difference on such a short flight.

This would not be the app per sé, but QF via Amadeus I imagine. Why? Well that would be interesting to know....

Yeah, I’ve not seen this behaviour ever as 1x or 2x WP(s).

Also interesting to know what route?

I had a similar experience as QF Gold flying J. Did online check in the minute it opened and we got our Row 2 D/F seats, and put said boarding passes in phone wallet. Next day, at departure, opened the app, and saw we had been moved to 3D/F, and wallet boarding pass updated accordingly. When onboard, turned out one of the seats in row 2 was broken, so to keep us together, they re-allocated our seats. So in this case, operational reasons. They did have someone sitting in the non-stuffed seat.

Ours was BNE-ADL and return.
Original seats that we had occupied by others.
Wonder if next time we just don't check-in online and do it at the airport

Ours was BNE-ADL and return.

Wonder if it was an aircraft swap initially and then back to the original again?

Has always been E190, when we booked and on the actual date.

Flight today, 419 Syd to Mel, mine changed from 5C to 2A at check in without me touching anything.

Op up?

Op up?

Don’t know, empty seats down the back though.

 

[New to this]

This happens to me occasionally.
Seat changes from 4C to 2C

Not often enough, unfortunately

Hi,
I’ve had something similar happen, but much worse and I’m quite livid! For a few months now (since booked) I’ve been in 31J (as no window seats were available when I booked of an A380 SYD-LHR. All was good, until check in open and I’ve been booted all the way back to 40J.
Quite unimpressed as a Platinum for some years now (though of course don’t know status of other pax)

Hoping that someone in a better seats pays for an upgrade or there is a no show, but won’t hold my breathe….
