seat selection

SQ308 I was lucky enough recently to fly on SQ 308 from Singapore to London. This November flight was originally scheduled to be on an A380 with the original interior but about a month out from the flight the aircraft was swapped to the newer interior A380. Video of this flight: I was in...

Does anyone know if Virgin WPs get complimentary seat selection when flying the cheapest Etihad fare? I understand Etihad Guest status holders do, but Etihad’s website doesn’t say if status holders of partner airlines do or not. I know Singapore Airlines doesn’t give Virgin WPs complimentary...

Hi, Is anyone getting an error trying to change/select seats on a booking in the Velocity app? The error message is: 'We are unable to retrieve seating information at this time. We apologise for any inconvenience' I've been getting this same error for the past week. I can change the seat...

A relative (no status) booked a return Y flight SYD-LAX with Virgin. During the booking, she tried to select seat for the return flight 3 months away, and most / all window and aisle seats were crossed out (not available) - available seats were middle seats :( Not sure if the window and aisle...

G'day Folks - I've got one I've not come across before, and couldn't find much, if any info about... I've just booked return flights via the QF website to Fiji for a short break with the family - yay! For the outbound flight, there was no QF-operated service, and so I'm on an FJ operated, QF...

So JAL will for flights booked directly with them indicate on the seat map where a child is sitting to allow those without kids to potentially avoid sitting next to a screaming baby or toddler...

I'm booking 4 classic reward business class seats on QF33 SYD-KIX for the family (2 adults, 2 kids -aged 7 and 9) The seat configuration is 1-2-1. Does anyone have any advice on seat selection for a family of 4 travelling together? Would it be better for us to sit 4 in a row across the plane...

Hey AFF’ers - is it normal for seat selection on Y+ to be completely unavailable 4 weeks out from departure? I’m SG and just getting the window/aisle preference option with no option to pick anything. I’ve checked expertflyer and the whole Y+ cabin is either taken and the other half of the...

Hi, I'm in J on QF 128 in seat 7 A on a 787. One site I read said rows 3 and 7 in A and K have more privacy. In looking at various online videos I don't see it. Can anyone shed light on that claim please? (I put a generic subject on this so that the thread can be reused or referred to.)

So....this is not the first time but I am starting to get annoyed at this. Here is the latest trick...... Booked in as a WP, Velocity X, sitting 28K on a320 SYD-PER and been moved again to 17F. I realised the change when I got the flight reminder email that online check-in is open. This has...

Hi all I'm looking for recent experience of selecting seats for an Etihad business class award flight booked through Velocity. Trying to decide whether to fly Etihad AMS to SYD, or use Qantas points to book Qatar Airways business class. EY have the better flight time and transit time in Abu...

Hi all, Suppose someone already selected seats in a QF A380's upper-deck economy section for an early 2020 flight, unaware that a number of A380s would have been refurbished by then and the seats in question may not exist. Would Qantas automatically reassign that person to a different seat...

Hi Guys, So I am about to fly on Qantas Economy again where you have to pay for your seats or wait for the 24 hour checkin window. Its almost 24 hours but i was wondering how does the seats allocation work? As previously at times if i try to check in just when its 24 hours or so to go then...

Hello fellow AFF'ers, Has anyone recently faced any issues in selecting seats on QF Intl. flights? Flight numbers : 1. QF127 - SYD-HKG - 14/Aug/2019 2. QF8255/CX631 - HKG-MAA - 14/Aug/2019 3. QF8240/CX632 - MAA-HKG - 17/Aug/2019 4. QF128 - HKG-MAA - 17/Aug/2019 I tried, for the past one...

I'm booked on QF2566 (CBR-BNE) on 18 August. I am not able to view the seat map or make a seat selection via the Qantas website or app, and when I look at Expertflyer it says a seat map isn't available for this flight. When I booked the seats (via phone to Qantas) they said seat selection...

HI All So I have booked my flights with me, my wife and my (Will be) 3 year daughter to Japan. Anyway I was looking at selecting our seats, and I was unsure of what is the best layout for a familly to travel. Qantas have defaulted to all of us in the window, but I was wondering if we should...

I noticed today when checking a seat map that all seats (apart from Economy X) now seem to be available for selection even when not logged in to my Velocity account. I'm guessing this is probably a temporary tech blip, but I guess VA could have just abandoned blocking the forward seats for...

I do FIFO work so I fly a lot with Qantas and I'm currently silver frequent flyer. I have noticed though when I choose my seats I haven't got the same selection other people have that are silver and I seem to always get this "individual seat selection isn't available in this flight" message when...

I haven't seen this discussed here elsewhere yet. A couple has apparently been kicked off an Air New Zealand flight from Wellington to Auckland after refusing to listen to the safety briefing. They were seated in the exit row. Good on the cabin crew, I say...
