A general query re international seat selection using the T-80 rule.
Firstly, I am bronze. Don't fly much.

Am going on OWA round the world trip July 2017 (140,000 points deal in Y). Over the course of the bookings, each time I speak to the consultant they always say the seat selection opens 24 hours prior to flight departure.

So, Q1 - is online check-in the same as seat selection?
Q2. I can pick my seat right now, but I pay for the seat. That is well in advance of T-80. So is the T-80 seat selection for paid selections, or free?
Q3. As a bronze, will I actually get to see any available seats or do I just need to wait until check-in (T-24)?
Q4. Do the seat selections apply for every segment? I assume not as the aircraft would be different each leg & someone else may randomly have chosen that seat.

Cheers all
