Advance seat selection on QF001

[Deleted member 33742]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the inability to advance seat select on an international flight recently. I have a booking on qf1 in September and it only allows me to specify aisle or window. I've never had the issue before. It was booked through a travel agent and includes a connecting flight in MH if that makes a difference.

Cheers

My guess is that it hasn't been ticketed as of yet.

Would be my guess as well - I have a QF1 in September and I could select the seats a day or two after booking.

Thanks,

Looking like I might have jumped the gun I should probably wait a few days and see if it changes.

Cheers

Has happened to me recently and my flight is now ticketed and completely paid. It is an A380 HKG-SYD in early January and is the 4th flight in the booking. I have 80K pre-allocated via the call centre.

Please review the following items

We are not able to able to display the seat map. Contact us or you can select an aisle or window seat
preference. Selecting a seat preference will cause previously requested seats to
be lost.

Maybe they haven't allocated an aircraft to the flight and therefore don't have a seat map yet?

(guessing)

Generally you can allocate seating even if the flight is not ticketed - in fact often it's the only thing you can do.

Possibly but the customer service agent could see seat map and pre-allocated my preferred 80K on A380.

Do you have a medical clearance. I've found having one of those stuffs up my ability to select seats and I just get the aisle or window thing.

Me? I don't normally have issues pre-allocating seats for majority of my flights. Only when there has been an aircraft substitution since I have booked and where for some reason there is a glitch in the seat allocation software.
