Folks, Mrs Fish and I have booked 2x J awards BNE-ADL for a Barossa weekend coming up (on a 737). As a NB, rows 1 and 2 are blocked to me in seat selection.
Now row 3 is fine for me when we're not travelling with Toddler Fish, but some other poor plebs (NB too, I assume) have already chosen 3C and 3D, so we're left with 3A and 3F.
While a stranger is much less likely to interrupt my ipad movie which I am more than OK with, my lovely bride would prefer we sit together.
The call centre's solution was to not chose a seat and link the bookings (which are separate) in the expectation (hope) that the airport will seat us together. Is that all I can do, or is there a particular day I should call up and try and sort it out?
I know I am probably one of QF's least lucrative customers, but is it really necessary to block out 2/3 of the cabin to me?
