We will be back in Oz around Easter next year (2014), and need to go to Melbourne and Brisbane. Qantas had cheap e-deals for $89 between SYD and MEL / BNE, so we bought tickets for our trips. Hubby is Plat. We tried to select seats for 737 planes, and rows 4 & 5 were greyed out. Having read threads in the forum about seat selections, my understanding is that rows 4 & 5 may be open around T-80 and we may be able to select them. However, I don't want to be at the back of the plane, so should I select seats in row 6 now and hope to change them to row 4 closer to travel dates? Also, the exit row seats were available when we tried to do seat selection, if we select these do we have to pay extra for them? Or, does Plat get them for free? (if this sounds like a silly question, apology!)
Thanks!
