Seat selection at T-80

[Kangol]

Didn't make any difference at all. T-80 came and went for the long haul sector I was after, not a single seat has opened up.

I was hoping for 15A + 15B on a new config A380 LHR-SIN. Guess ill have to stick with 19A + 19B as we have already.

I was under the impression that the main *benefit* was for dom, not int.

TBH, T-80 is far more relevant for domestic flights.

For international, as a WP, I can select front route upon booking.

The others are correct about T-80 being relevant to DOM. But the question has to be asked: why was your aim as low as row 15 when you could have aimed for Emerald City (rows 11-13) .

It does apply for Intl flights as well, but remember if the seats aren't there to open up, they won't magically appear!

Expert Flyer showed no availability of two seats together in rows 11 - 13. Row 15 was the best I could see on expert flyer, but seats are blocked.

Maybe you could post details here: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....lity-allocation-configuration-help-25680.html

Some may be able to provide a better view.

Pretty sure I've got it right, but here is a screen shot. QF002 LHR-SIN in J on the 04th of Jan.

I'm at t-80 for an upcoming flight, however I only have net access via my phone at present.

I played around with the booking via the phone but can't seem to find anywhere to select/modify seat selections. Have I missed something with the mobile QF login, or does seat selection not exist?

 

[serfty]

MMB on QF mobile basically sucks - you really need to go to the 'full' site.

Dang, thanks

Which is possible from a phone.

Yes, but would be nicer if the just optimised the mobile site so it could be as functional and useful as the main one

I completely agree, just noting the work around until they fix it.

really dumb question here, but if you have chosen a seat previously, but then have a look at other available seats at t-80 and there is nothing better on offer - do most people press skip or next on the buttons below. Just don't want to be in a situation where you may forfeit your original selected seat (although doubt this would happen anyway).

 

[mannej]

Provided you don't move your seat just press skip or next

 

[simongr]

I just tend to hit next and go to the next booking.

Not sure it matters which one you press.

Was using it this morning, and was worried i was going to lose my 70A

If there is nothing better I just click on Back. No need to do skip or next (however I agree it makes no difference which you use) as subsequent flights will be more than T-80 away.
