Are all seats chargable on VA domestic flights

[Springthing]

I hardly fly VA so I've always had a Red membership.

Got a flight HBA-SYD coming up.

So even on domestic flights, are no seats complimentary now? Is it maybe due to the fare type I purchased, as it was pretty cheap? I know QF offer pretty average seat selection for low teir members, but even for sale fares, you get checked luggage and standard seat doesnt cost anything.

All fares, except Economy Lite, include standard seat selection.
Economy Lite will need a payment.

Economy Lite will need a payment.

Until T-48 in my experience....

EDIT: just checked the website:

"Guests travelling on Economy Lite fares can purchase Preferred Seat selection up to 3 hours prior to their flight’s scheduled departure via Manage Your Booking or during check in. All seating excluding Economy X is complimentary within 3 hours of scheduled departure."

Not sure if a glitch but the other week I checked in online 48 hours before and it let me pick any seat (Except X) for free.

The seat seems to ‘stick’ once you select it. I then went back and changed it a few times without finalising the online checkin.
