Seat selection not available on codeshare

[angella44]

I recently flew CHC to SYD in Y on a QF/EK flight booked with Qantas. I am QF SG.

Seat selection was not available until check-in, when there were only 3 seats left.

Is this because it was an Emirates plane or because it was a short sector? Or is there another reason? I'm planning to fly Sydney to Rome soon and would like to make sure I can select a seat. It's the main advantage of SG.

In the past I've been able to do EK seat selection by logging into manage the booking on the EK site using the EK reference. I'm WP, not sure if that affects anything.

As Anna says, you can select a seat using the Emirates website. No need to have Platinum status.
