How can you select seats now?
I currently bought a economy ticket from American Airlines operated by Cathay but when i called with Cahty's Record Locator they said they cannot assign me a seat till 72 hours prior to check in. They wanted to sell me a extra leg room seat for $139. Same with a Award booking From AA but operated by CX. How can I get CX to assign me a seat earlier?

My ticket is a Fare Type V... so I dont understand how i cant get a seat assignment.

On Cathay's website it says
* The following passengers can request a seat in advance
- Members of The Marco Polo Club and oneworld alliance holding elite status
- All First and Business Class passengers
- Passengers holding tickets on eligible fare types – W, R, E, Y, B, H, K, L, M, V, T
