My partner who is Qantas Platinum booked me a last minute reward seat in March on BNE-DUB -LHR with Emirates and returning LHR - HKG - BNE with first leg BA and second on Cathay.
We have chosen all seats for free for all legs except BA LHR to HKG where the starting point for selecting seats is $260.
We are on the same flights travelling out, but I’m returning on different flights even though we are travelling on the same day.His return flights are all with Emirates.
Our bookings are linked.
As I said, he made the bookings.
My question is......as he made my reward flight booking does he get to chose a seat for free on booking through his status? Or do they only look at my status which is nothing !
I’ve gone in on my booking and it’s only offers me selection with a price but was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar...and whether it’s worth him calling them as someone with ‘status’ who made the actual booking ?
Any help will be appreciated.
This is my first experience with BA and I’m happy to admit I have some anxiety at not having an allocated seat.
