Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

Although I've heard that tip a lot, as someone with a 7 digit QFF number I've never had to do it with CX. Good to be reminded that it's still relevant.

Not sure, but seven digit is probably ok.

Mine’s technically seven digits BUT has a leading zero. The physical cards show the zero but the app doesn’t…

I always add the zero when booking direct with partner airlines but first time ever I think I’ve seen it drop off like that…. I just assumed it would have carried over correctly.

Yes, those zeros (I have 2) are crucially important. Leave them off and you're a nobody.

I'm flying to TPE J in feb and it will be interesting to see how it goes. I'm expecting it to be quite seamless with lounge access....
