Have booked a DCIRC26 fare, and only way of getting back to Aus from LAX on the day I wanted to travel was on AA code (QF94 was showing D0 but AA7356 had D7). As a WP, in the past have only been booked on QF flights/metal not AA on QF metal and to allocate a seat it's been simply a matter of calling premium line and requesting a particular seat (if available), as I did outbound MEL-HKG. However QF can't help me and I called AA and advised they can only access centre seats. Any other suggestions or just be persistent and try different operators?
