Strange seat selection issue

[QFflyermelbourne]

Here's one for the brains trust that I haven't encountered before...

Was sorting some bookings for my folks who are both very NB. Checked some info about booking while logged into my fathers account (he made the booking). I figured while I was logged in that I should select from the very ordinary options available to NB's.

Anyway I hit seat selection and all I got was a screen asking for seat preferences, either aisle or window like you do on Dash flights. This is a 737 service so I'm baffled.

All I can think is perhaps the computer hasn't had a seat map loaded as scheduling haven't decided if it's the old or new config 737 with extra seats? Anyone else seen this?

I've had this previously.. Think it was just a glitch as seat selection went to normal the next time I checked.

How far away is the trip? You may find seat selection will resort to this if a certain percentage of the seats have already been allocated.

It's 9 days away. Interesting if that's the case. You may well be right!

Ive had this issue right up until I checked in at the airport.
