Qf Olci Sleeping - Again?

[oz_mark]

Thems the breaks. Welcome to my world.

Also avoid 23E on the same aircraft. Even though you think you have an aisle seat you could end up in a middle seat if the aircraft is substituted late in the piece. :-|

My flight tomorrow doesn't even have a 24F, so if you got that seat and they swapped configs to a non 24F plane, who knows where you would end up!

Knowing me I would get the smoking section with 360 degree views.

Checked in for tomorrow's flight: pre-allocated 23K, with the seat next to me and the row behind "taken". Nothing much greyed out except the exit rows behind.

I have been pre-allocated 37D for tomorrow's flight and there are only 2 seats not greyed out in the forward WHY cabin.

When did you OLCI. I was Seg # 18 for mine (ended up with a vacant seat next to me)

In row 23?

I used OLCI at ~T-20 hours and I was seq #16. Best I could do was change to 29J from original 37D and then 28B at the gate even though there was 4 aisle seats vacant further forward.

Not having status and checking in late I could have got 26D easily with a spare seat next to me. Makes a lot of sense to me....

For my flight this evening, I OLCI'd at T-23:58, Seq #3, and got 26K on international config 767, with everything forward greyed out. Since then I've moved to 25A (right behind the crew capsule).

JohnK, I reckon you have the bad luck to select the flights CL like, and you're after an aisle seat (my preference is forward window for domestic - my international preference is aisle).

Unless they're after you:shock:

And just to prove all my theories on seat allocation wrong I checked in last night at very close to T-24 hours (probably missed by <1 minute) and was pre-allocated 25D with 23DE available (int'l configuration 767) and snagged 23D. I would have been happy with original seat allocation. Got seq #4. This is a peak hour flight as well on a Friday night so not sure what is happening.

By the way I would not be surprised if there actually is something in my profile, call it sabotage if you like, bringing me down to the equivalent of a Gold or Silver. Either that or a classic example of my extreme bad luck on show....

John, maybe you should give the A330's a miss for a while also

Maybe this article is related John?

Have they finally discovered the reason for your bad luck??

Exactly what I was thinking!

Believe it or not but I bring other people luck wherever I go. I must absorb all the bad luck away from them. :-|

Unless there is an afterlife I will never really know the reason behind my extreme bad luck. It may well be someone's idea of a practical joke or if you believe in previous lives possibly me in a previous life was very lucky and wanted to know what life would be like with extreme bad luck.

No OLCI this morning

I was able to select the flights but once I asked to check seats it cr4pped itself

wijomas - as an NZr, not use to the 767s, but I guess you now have the 320s to get used to.

Down for me today for a dom flight just booked for tomorrow.

Seats is showing - but just lets me select window seats (Error msg of not available under 24hrs for morning flight, and not available fullstop for return)

Not even a greyed out OLCI symbol however.

 

[moa999]

Back up at 4pm.
Interestingly checked in for my 7pm return (4 seats greyed out).
Allocated 25F, switched to 23A. (767 with 23,24 middle missing).

So OLCI at T-27hrs, and only Seq 3

QF site down yesterday whilst I'm trying OLCI - said it was under heavy demand.

I got through by "manage your booking" without logging in and scored my B738 4A again

Working OK this morning

 

[Cyclogenesis]

OLCI not avail for my 1430 SYD MEL flight tomorrow... anyone else with issues...

Is it the first leg of your itinerary? There is a known issue at the moment where you can check-in for the first leg but no further legs.

 

[Cyclogenesis]

Second leg... that sucks... so people just SSCI at the airport in the end?

Yep, that's what I had to do. I still luckily got 4D and then 12D (exit row) on my 2 legs though :mrgreen:
