Booking CX economy rewards flight using QFF

[ZMan]

I’m looking to book an economy rewards flight on CX using my QFF. I don’t have enough Asia Miles to book directly through Cathay Pacific.

A few questions:

1. The Qantas website tells me I can’t choose my seat when booking CX rewards flight using QFF. Is this correct? Can I pay more for seat selection?

2. I have a Qantas lounge pass I can use. Can I use it even though my flight is with CX?

Thanks in advance!

If you have any sort of qantas or oneworld status you’ll be able to book seats for free, including exit rows. You do this through the Cathay manage booking function (not in the QF site).

If you go to the cathay manage booking page it will tell you if you can pay for seats, otherwise wait till on line checkin opens which is 48 hours prior or whatever.

You need to be flying qantas or jetstar to use your lounge pass. CX won’t get you in unfortunately.
