If it is a paid ticket you should simply call the AF call center (use the Elite hotline) and let them solve it. No reason to call FB. Actually, even on a FB booking you can call the Elite hotline for seat assignments.
If it is KE metal, it could be that AF is allocated some specific rows and that you dont have acces to the better rows.
Again you have plenty of time to get better seats.
Hi brunos,

1) No, not an award, and
2) yes KE

I specifically choose KE as I was told (in the forum) the seating was better than that of AF so thought we'd give it a go

I think you might be right about the allocation of rows sold by AF, but think I might give them a call anyway.

So you recon it would be better to call AF rather than FB (either way, I don't like get yelled at)?

I called FB last time I couldn't do an OLCI (HEL - CDG with AY on AF Code share) but was bounced around between different call centres (called the number on the back of the FB card) and finally was told that it was not possible

Thanks,
