Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

Actually it was made prior to hitting P1. I waited till I was P1 before attempting seat selection.

I’d say that’s it. I think the booking saves your status and doesn’t refresh - you could have tried removing your FF number and re-adding it.

If it was giving it to you free but not your guest it seems it knows you are P1 so doesn’t charge but for your guest it just refers to your booking.

May well be correct. Will keep that in mind for future bookings.
