Seat selection has been restricted on this flight as most seats have already been assigned.

Received this message when I went into view the seat map and select a seat directly on the Emirates site. I booked through QF and did a seat selection from the QF site.

The advantage of using the Emrates site is that on the last flights it gave me (QF Gold) access to select their up-sell economy seats.

Anyone have any background on this message and if I"m likely to see it open up over the next week.

Do you have expetflyer avaliable for a GDS based seat map?

How long until the flight?

If it's in the next 24 hours, perhaps you've been given an op-up?

This same thing recently happened to me in similar circumstances trying to get seat allocation on Qantas site for code share flights. I called Qantas, remarkably unhelpful, but did get my Emirates PNR from them - this was nowhere obvious on my Qantas e-ticket. Then I called Emirates and there was no problem at all with seat allocation. This was a paid J Class ticket.

The Emirates PNR should be listed in your QFF “Manage my booking”. Usually mentioned in the “seat preferences” section

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the system was just a bit confused, I was within 24 hours of my original flight which I had changed also within the 24 hour window before departure.

When I go to Emirates site today, I can access the Preferred Seating -Complimentary. A small benefit but better than being in 88C which was the default issue.
