I'm sitting in the gate lounge before a flight from LPB to SCL (La Paz to Santiago) on LATAM as QF silver, and it's been a very poor experience so far. At check-in I was refused the priority lane, and after passing security I noticed that my boarding pass listed a different seat to what I selected online (back of the plane in 29C instead of 8L, so I'll miss out on some spectacular views over the Andes on what should be a very clear day, something I've been looking forward to). I've asked the gate staff if they can move me but they refused.
I know I don't rank all that highly in the FF food chain, and the problems are very first-world, but is there any point in contacting Qantas to complain? One of the reasons I chose to fly LATAM/oneworld (not necessarily the cheapest option either) was to recieve benefits like seat selection and priority check-in, and at the moment I feel like I've been getting the same service as a LCC. If it is worth contacting them, what would be the best channel to use?
