    Overbooked MNL-SYD

    flight was overbooked by 2 in Y in the end. The economy line for check-in was stupidly long @ 4 hours prior to check in, but luckily the business line was empty. Full flight in Y and J in the end. I must say, as with the other manila posts, Ninoy Aquino Terminal 1 is a bit like a dungeon and...

    unable to do seat selection on qantas ticket

    ok so the seat map has finally re-opened and I'm back in the Y+ cabin. Interestingly it's still a 4 class bird to Tokyo but instead of being seated in the lower deck J cabin I'm now in the W cabin hmm. Maybe they have too many J passengers and relocated Y+ pax back into the Y+ cabin?
