I was logged in to my account at the time.
A 1K on Basic Economy does not get seat selection.

This is not BE. This is Economy Light, a new product that's currently only available TATL.

For a 1K, the only disadvantages of Light fares are that they can't be upgraded and that you can't change them at all -- they're "use it or lose it." Non-status, non-credit-cardmembers get a first bag charge, but that wouldn't apply to you.
