I called OZ's reservations and the agent informed me that there is only one aisle seat available for advance seat selection on my flight. When I politely asked her how many seats were left for the sale, she stated 6. Thus, when I inquired as to why there is only one seat left, she stated that it is OZ's policy to only assign 50% of seats in advance, but clearly, if the flight is booked with 2 F guests out of a total F capacity of 8 and there is only one seat left for advance selection, then quantitatively, it is beyond clear that OZ is only willing to assign 25% of the F seats in advance, not 50% as it did in the past. Has anyone encountered a similar experience on a flight operated by the new B77W?
it has been widely discussed in the thread
ICN-ORD to resume F class - for the 77W only 2 seats are available for general advance selection - 2G and 2K. This is regardless of the number of seats sold. My flight was showing A6P6 right up until departure and still only those two seats were available.
Even at ICN where I arrived at 0600 on a connecting flight, 5 hours before departure I was told only 2G and K were available. Once the flight opened for check-in I offered any seat I wanted.
We eventually went out with 1A and 2A occupied.
Not really going to be an issue unless the plane fills up - it would be safe to assume single pax are not going to want to take the middle seats and will move to the windows if possible, leaving the two middle seats for couples.
