I just had a look at my next block of travel (book 3-4 months in a go). I can pick row 3(WP) for my flights by myself but when I travel with my girlfriend I can only pick row 6(SG)! So for a couple that did just under a 100 segments last year now flight together in row 6, crazy!
Also of note all the flights that I looked at had no other people on it, I could pick any seat. And this was for flight only 5-6 months away!

Update!
I have found a way around the issue whereby a the seat map is only showing seats available to the lowest status member - i.e. A plat and a gold can only book row 6 back.
Simple remove the velocity number for the lower tier member - i.e. only leave the number in the Plat member and have no number entered for the Gold member.
I did exactly this and was able to select row 3 seats for myself and a companion passenger when I did not enter his velocity number into a dummy booking.
It would appear that this is definitely a bug.
Nice hint. Thanks.
So the Velocity can then be added back again straight away?
The option to change it does exist on-line, but I am not game to use it ...I think so but with the website being unreliable I not certain.
However, I'm sure it can easily be added when you checkin at the Airport.
........ odd plat who wedges into 3B or 3C regardless (especially if there are no more aisle/window seats available) which is just too bad.

Does anyone have a known strategy of getting a different seat? I can't do it online, as it was made before 12 January, and calling the call centre isn't helping.
