OLCI problems - QF32

[rory breaker]

Gday Gday

A couple of weeks back I flew QF32 from LHR to SYD.

OLCI was suprising to say the least.

1 week from flight time, there were only 3 seats available in Y.
So my partner and I (also QC) ended up sitting on opposite sides of the plane.

At the time, I called Qantas, who told me that all those other seats were 'probably' taken by higher staus passengers, i.e. WP.

It was great to see on the flight that there were a group of over 60 school kids on a rugby trip spread though Y. I'd be surprised If they were WP.....

I've never had an OCLI problem like this on Domestic flights, is it common for International flights to be like this?

Cheers

Frequently happens. How long before the flight did you book/try to get seat preallocation?

1st time I tried was 7 days out from the flight, then tried every day until the flight.

As time progressed the 3 spare seats that were free, slowly got taken.....
