I ended up paying the $20 for the front seats, which I wanted anyway, but was just surprised to see that seat selection should be free on avois bookings. Maybe US agents aren't as familiar with this policy? Or maybe there is a difference with EI avios and BA avios?
Just got off the phone with EI about reserving seats on an Avios reward booking (2xEconomy MIA-DUB). I was able to reserve 2 seats for free in the back of the plane (row 37), was told the 'choice' seats closer to the front would be charged for. As I assumed would be the case so not sure what was going on with your booking, something to do with being based in the US possibly but I can't see why that would make a difference!

using the EI pnr it only allows API to be entered
for seat selection it says it’s a travel agent booking so contact the travel agent
Surely a business class avios seat selection doesn’t have to be paid for
previously there was an option to use a travel agent booking log in on Aerlingus.com that got you in and you could choose your TATL business class seat
is that gone?
if not is there a link
presumably the seat selection is free ?
thanks in advance folks
I would assume the seat selection is free for business class seat but you probably need to ring them up and quote your ticket number, guy last time didn't like me quoting my booking reference when it didn't start with a '2'!!
On another note, I couldn't add the API online (which I realised after I got off the phone with them). It brought up an error so looks like another phone call (with 10+ minute hold time) required. I also couldn't do a meal choice (for my other half) on the phone or online so next stop twitter (oh the joy).
EDIT: They were (via Twitter) able to add a vegetarian request for my partner but I couldn't book the special bia prebook meal option
