@lameyofth is referring to operational upgrades. It's often complained about by golds and above that BA will upgrade a silver or bronze to allow a lower tier member to "sample" a higher cabin to encourage spend-up.

No. QF charge for BSCTs too, so it's not that they are marked as extra legroom seats, they're marked as chargeable BSCT selections. https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/seating/select-a-seat.html

A B789 is possibly more sensible. QF63/64 going to an A388 means that some B789s will be freed up.

If QF was to run their fleet tight without much buffer, which we all know is a bad idea... it might just fit with 9, but ideally it needs to be 10. I suspect with SIN they want the frequency... not a single big aircraft.

Not without another aircraft back. MEL-SIN requires 1 airframe. It can rotate with QF93/94 on the days that it is an A388 so that it can cycle to the rest of the network.

The bigger picture is more important - you only need 7 aircraft to operate QF1/2/11/12/63/64. The schedule is actually quite loose as there's enough slack for all 7 aircraft to have a 24 hour block in the LAX hangar every fortnight or so. There is also some flexibility in SYD where they will...

I believe the issue has been resolved now, so it wouldn't have mattered which site you use to select the seat.

Lets clarify some terminology here... A ticket does not equal a PNR. A PNR can contain multiple pax, with multiple tickets for each of those pax. Think of a PNR as a book (PNR) - a book can have multiple chapters (tickets) and each chapter can be multiple pages (ticket coupons - up to a maximum...

The core issue is GDSes were built around one PNR only being able to hold a flight segment of the same sub class, eg. N class. This means everyone on the booking must be booked in N class. Basically it revolves around a flight segment and what class that flight segment is. The so-called New...

There was a reason why you were sent deliberately via DFW 🤣

Be careful what you wish for... SQ got rid of their equivalent product altogether when the complaints about them rose.

No one - I can enter the request myself as an agent, which I did for testing to confirm whether VA codeshares can select seats or not.

There's an issue with the BA seating server at the moment.

Did the flights show up at SQ instead? Airport staff are known to mess up FF number changes... so it's always possible it still went to SQ despite the request at check in.

That is an old page that is still alive but not linked to from the rest of the QR website. That page still has references to S7, AB (the old AB) and LA being in oneworld. AB went out of business in 2017.

I doubt the contact centre even tried a need need request. It's not standard thinking in an airline contact centre. Perhaps if you specifically ask for it, they might be willing to try it. I created a brand new PNR, sold a VA*NH codeshare and then put in the need need request for the seat. I...

Seat selection does work on VA codeshares operated by NH.... but the problem is you cannot do it online. You need someone at either VA or NH to request the seat selection as a "need need" request. The NH flight management system should then confirm the seat. Here's a dummy test that I just...

Depending on the route you're trying to use them on... having the account as AU domicile can be more beneficial. Each to their own... so it boils down to what route(s) you are trying to use them on.

Yes they can still access the lounge.

These days... For cancellation/refund, it's generally the most restrictive condition of all fare components that applies, across all carriers. For changes, it's generally charge the highest of the change fees of all fare components that are being changed. Eg. If you were changing a fare that...
