Do I understand what I'm reading above? Have things changed? Can one break through to an ANA rep and get seats after trusting that it will happen since the United site says something to the effect of - sorry we cannot make seat reservations for you...
Yes you can - managed to get my seat assignment for NRT-JFK booked via UA on a UA codeshare flight number. Put in the UA ticket number and first name (concatenate first/middle) / last name onto the NH "view reservation" page and then you can see your flight details (but can't view the seatmap/pick seats or enter your passport info) and the 6-digit NH reservation number.
Calll NH and give them the NH number and the agent should be able to assign the seats for you - worked for me at least. Also it doesn't seem that booking the codeshare restricts the seats you can choose - I was able to get 30A (exit row on the 77W) without any trouble.
