seat selection

Will a one world Emerald status member be offered preferred seating in Y at time of booking, or will it entail a phone call after booking is confirmed? tia

Was just looking at the points tables at: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Redeem/Airlines/PointsTables/ Looks like there's a new carrier charge for reward bookings from 1 January 2019. Incredibly disappointing especially for premium/business to LAX.

Virgin Australia - Approval I was amazed to hear from Virgin Australia, who responded to my post and took it one step further and invited to fly myself and my family to their head office to discuss seating options ..... Virgin Australia for their approval of seating devices for infants and...

On QF7 last week in Y I had a curious situation arise, I wondered what people think. Light load, as usual for long haul Y either before or just after the seatbelt sign went off many pax moved around into vacant seats/rows. Lucky for me, I wss one of two people in the middle row of 4 on the...

Hi, Have a range of upcoming international travel on Qantas - am gold currently but will be Platinum after an upcoming trip. For *another* trip further in the future, should I do my points-based upgrade requests now, or after I become Platinum? How does the request timing affect your chances -...

Hi All, I am flying over to Europe on QF1 via Singapore in early December and I am considering flying back on QF2 on Christmas Day Does anyone have any insight into how busy these flights will be in Y? Currently, the seat availability on both flights is looking pretty atrocious. After my...

Hi all, Is it only QF international award seats (QF flight number and QF metal) that are released 353 days out? I've found some partner award seats are getting released earlier than the QF seats. cheers,

Hey everyone, I noticed a couple of days ago when logging on to manage my booking and select a seat that they have gone up from $5 to $6 Not sure what rises for exit row seats or up front. Nice of Jetstar to raise the prices without any notice to customers. (or maybe i missed the memo)...

I am flying on QF772 tomorrow. I purchased a fully flex fare and applied for a points upgrade to Business. I chose an Economy seat and when I looked this evening my seat had become available again. However, I have not been upgraded even though there are two vacant Business seats. Now the...

I'm Velocity gold and flew Etihad in April and was able to select my seats in advance with no problems. I've just booked another flight for October and can't select seats. Looking at the listed benefits for gold members flying Etihad no longer shows advanced seat selection as a perk. Anyone...

Hello there! Feel free to move this thread if it is not located in the right place. I have an upcoming flight with CX next month and as a QF PS I can book Extra Legroom seats for free! Last time I checked, most of them were still available. Is it worth it to book them? I'd like to hear your...

I always grab an isle seat so when I am getting settled in on an ultra long haul like Mel>Lax I'll always greet my window seatmate with a little chat like: "This is a really long flight. If you need to get up don't worry. Just ask and I'll get out of your way. If you need to wake me up, that's...

Could someone please remind me of the time of day and 'days out' that award seats on Emirates get released by Qantas? Are they pretty consistent or do sometimes seats not get released on particular days? Can Plats & above ask for the release of EK seats, as they can with Qantas?

I recently traveled Melbourne - Hong Kong return on a Qantas A330-300. The Business Class seats on this aircraft are a very bad design and impose a high risk of deep vein thrombosis. The seats do not feature a footrest to enable the legs to be extended horizontally when the seat is reclined for...

Hey All, Hope this is a quick Q. Flying BNE-LAX and can't decide if I want Y+ or not. Can I check in with my existing seat (31A) and pay to upgrade to Y+ at the gate? Or is this not allowed? If it isn't allowed, can I do it over the phone and be reissued a boarding pass? I know you can't do...

I was attempting to sort out seats for my parents MEL-LHR. I selected various seats, but got into a state where I couldn't clear seats for a particular flight, so I used the back button to drop back to the landing page. Now it seems they have the seats but I cannot pay for them. I'm trying to...

Hi All, im booked on SQ 224 Airbus A330-300 SQ flight in J from PER-SIN for July 2019. I'm a bit confused as to if im going to get a flat bed or the old angled flat seat config. Any help would be gratefully appreciated ! Luke

This is tonight’s QR901 A380 seat map - went from half empty (multiple empty rows towards the back) to the front economy cabin seats all blocked out! Any thoughts on what’s going on?

Hi all, This is probably one of those common knowledge things for those used to expertflyer... What is the reasoning that the VA seat map and the expertflyer seat map differ for my upcoming BNE-LAX flight? I have googled relentlessly and not found an answer so sorry if this is obvious. Thanks.
