I thought the restriction is only on non-CX OW elite, CX GO should be fine, no?
As for MPC SL & above:
Advanced seat reservation
Subject to availability and applicable to paid tickets only.
Member’s travel companion can also enjoy this benefit when travelling with the member in the same booking.
Members must check in at least one hour before departure or seats will be released.
Group fares are not eligible.
So that benefit still exists, but there is a "same booking" requirement now. Old requirement was "same flight" MPC. I used to travel solo, but occasionally with travel companions on some segments. So we were in different bookings. Occasionally I traveled with 2-3 people and it was fine. Now it says travel companion (singular).
