Hi EDIflyer. No, LAN T fares (economy award) didn't used to allow seat selection until T-48, probably still doesn't. Except just recently for LAN Comodoros but things seem to be achanging. Although I think you are Emerald (BA G?) they don't extend this to other OneWorld. But who knows if you call in.

They have sort of solved the spinning wheel problem for LAN flights, LAN tix, it does sometimes inform you the fare class does not allow it, but I don't think it has been solved for other tix. But for sure, major frustration to watch the wheel spin. Silly on them.

Thanks, both - sounds like the spinning wheel is saying something after all! The booking is for my parents so only OW Ruby status - is it worth trying either BA or LAN call centres to see if they can do anything with the seats? It's just I'm aware they'll be at T-48 to check-in when already abroad so it might be handy for them to be in slightly better seats in case they can't get wifi working in their hotel!

2J and 2L are always blocked which I find highly annoying since on the three rows of J config that means there is only one good window seat in J that is reservable.

Then a few weeks ago I put all my upcoming flights in to checkmytrip.com and it shows that my seats have been changed from 2A and 2B to 4A and 4B. When I go back to the LAN.com website it shows as 2A and 2B. Is LAN playing games with me or is checkmytrip.com not correct? They get the data from an Amadeus server I guess so it seems correct and all my other flights on roughly 6 other airlines reflect the correct information.
I only get the spinning wheel now when I try to look at the seatmap.

No spinning wheel anymore, it just tells you you're too cheap upfront.

Interesting - I'm still getting the spinner regardless of which LAN country website I use. Will try giving them a buzz.

the colours they are achanging
Recent LP domestic check-in. The preferred seats for Comodoros row 1 used to be coloured gold, the Comodoro colour, with the phrase preferred seats. Now they are coloured green with the phrase available to Emerald. Logical actually, green for emerald and a more descriptive phrase I think suggesting anyone in the Emerald world, not just Comodoros.
