Choice of seats on QF fligts SYD-AKL-LAX-DFW-ORD-DFW-SYD

[Henk]

I'm on SYD-AKL-LAX-DFW-ORD-DFW-SYD in June. As a WP I was automatically allocated :

23J on QF141 SYD-AKL (14/6/2011)
23B on QF025 AKL-LAX (14/6/2011
9C on QF3202, LAX-DFW (14/6/2011)
9D on QF4439 DFW-ORD (17/6/2011
9D on QF4442 ORD-DFW (10/9/2011)
37B on QF008 DFW-SYD (10/9/2011)

Most seats on these flights are still available. Are these automatically allocated seats the best option for me? I wish, I could upgrade my seats but they are all class O or L.

Any better seats I should choose?

Thanks

You can log in to manage your booking on the QF website, or give the Platinum members desk a call to assign you a different seat.
Check out www.seatguru.com for a guide.

Thanks Blackadder for the link to seatguru.com. It gave me a very good idea about the seating configuration of my flights.

These flight would be on AA metal. There should be a SABRE PNR that may show on www.checkmytrip.com .

You might be able to use the SABRE PNR to check seating on AA.com, or by calling.

If they have a QF number can still select the seat via the QF website.

This is very unreliable and I would not trust it. AA's SABRE view of a flight can be very different from the Qantas' Amadeus view of the same flight.

This. AA seats never confirm via QF.

Grab the AA ref then select via aa.com (always a better selection of seats)
