$25 seat selection for WP?!

[RooFlyer]

I'm QF SG and recently booked a flight with Finnair ($600 cheaper on the exact same flights!) and noticed it wants to charge me $25 for advanced seat selection on the QF operated sectors. What happens with OW partner seat selection? I'm sure I've done it with Qantas in the past when booked on a Qantas operated flight with a non-QF flight code? Finnair's site will only let me select seats on the AY sectors.

Exact same situation, on QF with Finnair Code Share, but part of a Finnair ticket to Europe and back. Was in MMB on QFF site, it said $25 for the seat selection on the AY code share leg. I selected the seat, but it didn't present me with any payment option (not that I was going to pay anyway - least not until i checked the rules about OW status and seat selection). I just carried through the rest of the itinerary.

Is happening to me as well. I made some changes yesterday to a couple of NZ-Aust flights and when I went to select my normal row 4 seat, the system wanted to charge me $25. The bookings clearly have my FF number and I'm WP. In my case continuing on with the seat selection process brings up the credit card screen seeking payment.
I rang QF and while they seemed ignorant of this issue, they sorted out my seating no problem so clearly not a policy change
However I tried some other bookings this morning and same problem occurs. I have sent them an email and screen shot

Still haven't received a reply to my email. Made another 4 x TT bookings yesterday. All were trying to charge me $25 to sit in row 4. Rang through to the Platinum line. They didn't know anything about the website issue and were more than helpful to select the desired seat for me.

Just noticed this thread - I posted one myself yesterday about the same issue as a PS.

FYI, I can now select seats again, so I guess they fixed the bug.

I booked 2 x J tickets to HKG 2 days ago and I was able to select and change seats with no problems. Hopefully this isn't an ongoing issue.

Seat selection in J is free of charge even if you have no status.

I've still got the system telling me it's $25 per seat. But does not ask for payment, still.

Yeah, should have read the thread a little more closer. I thought people were booking J seats and having to pay a seat selection charge.

The 25$ mentions and payment screen seems to have gone away for me. (Y class booking). Phew...

I made an international booking the other day and was able to choose seats as normal.

All back to normal for myself..
