I noticed the "seat selection" icon available this morning (prior to T-24 OLCI) for my Dom booking but could only verify window/aisle preference. Hmmm, nothing new there...

It is there for all flights I think - it just then tells you that you can't select seats...

Simongr, what is your learned conculsion to this capturing of data?

I have a couple of flights next week and then nothing for a while so will be doing the analysis after that...

I just need to work out which are the "good" seats so we can assess whether people are getting them...

Time of travel: 19:45 (Original flight 20:45)
Class of travel: Discount Economy
Initial allocation: 7C
Final seating: 25A
How changed: OLCI to 4D and then check-in desk to 25A
Status of traveller: Platinum
Fare basis: E
Check in? (OLCI, QP/J Lounge, Regular, SSCI): OLCI at ~T-23h 52m hours (seq #3) and 4D is available. Used SSCI and was offered a seat on either of 2 earlier flights but could not get boarding pass. Went to counter for assistance and was allowed to check-in for flight 2 flights before my original flight. Was given 25A, good seat, but asked twice for forward aisle seat and the best they could do was row 28 so declined. On the aircraft 23J and 24F were both available. I was told I could sit there after take-off but someone else beat me to it. Not a big deal but I still cannot understand why I could not get one of those aisle seats at the service desk(s).
