So I've decided I'm going to make use of my FF points that I've accrued over the last 10 years (I've only redeemed points once before... an upgrade from J to F) but it seems to be a bit of a mission to find seats that I want. I'm looking at heading over to Europe next year and I can easily find 1 seat on flights, but I require 2 seats since I wont be travelling alone. I'd like to fly the whole trip in F.
I've seen people mention in the past that being Platinum you are able to request a seat be released for redemption as an unpublished benefit - is this on a "if you are lucky they will allow it" basis , or is there some logic behind when they will let it happen? i.e. if there are 4x first class seats still free they will release another one but if there is only 2 left you wouldn't have a chance?
I'm also trying to make it happen on the a380 if possible which makes it that little bit harder again. (my last upgrade was meant to be on a a380 but at the last minute it was substituted for a 747 so surely it cant happen a 2nd time!!)
Any tips on what to say to the agent that may help my case?
