    "My Island Sleeper Row" - buy a whole row of seats for yourself on Fiji Airways

    Has anyone used the "My Island Sleeper Row" upgrade on Fiji Airways? https://www.fijiairways.com/en-au/manage/my-island-sleeper-row/ I like the concept, but it seems this is only offered subject to availability at checkin - i.e. can't be guaranteed in advance. If it works, the additional cost...

    Seat selection - blocked seats on Qantas site vs Expert Flyer

    When selecting a seat for QF73 (flight 1), EF is showing rows 1-4 blocked, with the rest available (unless taken), however Qantas site has rows 5 and 6 blocked.

    YAT80C - Yet Another T80 Calculator I’ve created a modern user-input friendly T80 calculator that only requires your departure airport, departure date/time and timezone. It will create a calendar reminder as well. Some of the existing calculators lacked timezone calculations and had too many...

    Copa Airlines' over-engineered seat selection charges

    I'm flying with Copa Airlines today and wanted to select a seat. As I have a basic economy ticket there is a charge to select any seat. Now that in alone isn't surprising, but I was surprised to find that there is a different price for every single seat on the plane! I've seen many airlines...

    Turkish Airlines makes it really easy to book a comfort seat

    This option came up when booking a Turkish Airlines flight: If only other airlines made it this simple to book a comfort seat! It usually requires a phone call, and then you have to hope you reach someone who knows what they're doing... If Qantas (and others) made it this simple to book an...

    Hi AFF brains trust, Has anyone selected 1A/1K on A330 (international flight) at T80 and have had your seat reallocated else where when checking in / boarding? Am I rolling the dice by selecting this seat, because of the bassinet or other reasons to get removed from it?

    80 hour rule seat selection

    I mostly fly the same route for work, and depending on the aircraft i take advantage of the 80 hour rule a fair bit as i am tall AF and i don't want to be squished into a normal seat for a few hours.

    My Qatar Emerald status will expire come December. If I book a Y flight for Feb 2024 now and use the complimentary seat selection that comes with Emerald, does the seat selection disappear come 1 January 2024, or will it stick? I plan to ultimately credit my flights to VA to maintain my WP...
