As a Bronze FF, I travelled in Economy class on QF 1 from SYD to BKK approximately 6 months ago. At check in, we were allocated the very back row, Seats 75F and 75G despite checking in much earlier than the allocated time. When asked if we could have better seats closer to the front, we were told that the flight was totally booked and therefore, we had to stay with the seats that had been allocated.
After entering the aircraft first due to our position, we spoke to the flight attendant while waiting for tackoff and asked her about seat allocation was determined. She proceeded to tell us that seat allocation in Economy was based on the fare that you paid, and had absolutely nothing to do with the time you check in.
I'm just wondering what other people with such a wealth of flying experience think about her claim and whether it is true?? :wink:
