Priceline seat assignments?
I've just booked a weekend trip in early February using Priceline. I tried calling US reservations just now to change my seat assignments to "preferred" seating, but the agent said that was not permissible because I was on a Priceline ticket. I pointed out that I am a UA Premier Exec member, but she said that doesn't matter because she can't input the FF number into a Priceline record, thus those seats are not available to me. It's not the end of the world if I can't change, because the flights are not particularly long, but I do prefer to sit towards the front of the cabin if possible. Is this agent correct, or did she feed me inaccurate information? For what it's worth, she sounded fairly experienced.
