Rows 4 & 5 available seats on 738

[CamTheSnapper]

Hi guys,

Was wondering if I should be seeing rows 4 & 5 open up on a 738 (TSV-BNE). I have recently gone from SG to WP but I don't ever see availability in rows 4 or 5. Doesn't phase me but I thought with the change of status I might have seen some of those seats become available?



Thoughts?

Keep checking regularly. Check again at 80 hours before scheduled departure time. I often start out with row 13 selected and change to row 4 when it becomes available to me closer to departure. Sometimes it does, and sometimes (like last evening) I travel in row 13/14.

Thanks for the tip NM, I'll keep an eye on it. Although if I can't get 4 C or D (preferably with a blockout) then I'd take 13 any day.

Since P1came in I have been able to get row 4 only once and then the flight got cancelled.

Just really not sure about going all the way back to row 13...

As soon as I saw the seat map I thought "WP".

That's similar to what I see.

As indicated by NM, recheck at or shortly after T-80 hours before the flight. (This is three days and 8 hours)

So for your 11:35am flight on the 14th, that's 3:35am on the 11th (Saturday).

Keep checking as well - many high status PAX have flexible fares and may moved flight to other days or even upgrade.

If you have an Expert Flyer Subscription, you could set a seat alert to email if it detects a seat no longer blocked/allocated.

Only P1 sees rows 4 & 5 prior to the T-80 mark. As above, choose where you like before then, and at T-80 check back regularly to see if there's anything free closer to the front

Unfortunately as a lowly Platinum you can only choose from row 6 back.

And if you happen to see someone in 6C or 6D that is usually me until T-80!
