Hi all, I have a booking in J on QR metal (but booked on AA codeshare) for CGK to JFK. I can see the seat map on all sectors but can only select a seat if willing to pay a fee. Is this correct? I had "assumed" seat selection would be included with a paid J fare, but perhaps not the case on QR...

Hi, This forum seems to provide some very helpful information, so I thought I'd post here rather than spend more time on hold with airline call centres who are unable to resolve this for me. I've read through various articles on similar topics but suggestions there don't seem to work for me. I...
