Where are the status divides on A330 domestic seat selection?

[wandering_fred]

Mrs WF talked me into a domestic trip in mid August and given the sale I went ahead and booked our return MEL-PER. The date of the trip over is still flexible so will deal with it later.

Anyway I was expecting an E class seat where I would credit to QF and obtain seating with my new QF status. Much to my surprise the ticket was O class, which will credit to AA. And wishing to retain OWS status somewhere and being almost half way there with AA, I entered my AA FF number.

In due course, the eticket confirmation arrived and I went to select our seats on the A330. I was surprised to find the most forward row permitted was 33 (y begins at 23)


Where are the seating divides for QF (or OW partner) status FF on the domestic QF A330s?

Should I attempt to play the system and enter the QF (SG) FF number and change it back closer to the flight (Like check-in)?

Apologies for wandering verbosely.

Interesting question. I thought it would have been similar to a 767.

CL and Platinum One row 23-24
Platinum from row 25
Gold vaguely recall from row 29?

Would Oneworld Sapphire have the same rights as a QF Gold when it comes to seat selection for domestic flights?

I think you should be able to experiment by trying your QFF number in booking to see if the seat selection improves.

T-80 will solve your problem without upsetting the ff cart.

I wouldn't wait until T-80. I'd do as you suggest.

I'd suggest calling Qantas and swapping the FF number for the statused QFF number. Allocate the seats and then on check-in, have the FF numbers swapped back.

Can you allocated with status FF and then change at T-80 to try and improve seats?
