Hi, I signed up to this, haha, I have no status and might be flying more OW and less LCCs in Feb-Mar 2017.
I just used 10k AAmiles for a QF flight MEL-DRW, 4 and a half hour flight so an exit row would be great but when I chose seats it was locked out.
Wonder if I call up and quote the AirBerlin number, it will open up? We shall see....
