I've read that CX is very good about letting OW Sapphires select these seats, hence the reason I did not go the NRT route. Just not sure on the codeshares if the best approach is to call AA or CX.
Its my first time in the back on CX (ahh, those cutbacks and cost saving ideas ... you gotta love them) and some of these things are all brand new again.
... and yes, I could have the answer with 2 calls, but then how would everyone here fill their time?
Unfortunately if you booked codeshared tickets on AA flight number only AA can assign the seats for you. If they do not show the emergency exit, then you cannot preassign them even with CX as CX will not have your booking on their system. It is under AA's inventory.
You may only access those seats at check in. You can't even check in on line on cx's website as your booking is not on CX's flight number.
