CX - Book seats online at -48hrs or...
... wait til check-in?
My husband and I are booked to travel LGW-HKG-BNE with Cathay Pacific next Thursday 28 Feb.
It's an economy fare so we aren't able to book our seats until check-in opens 48 hours before. I'm a worry wart and am having nightmares that the only seats available will be centre seats and that we'll be seated apart.
My question is, if that is the case 48 hours before, is there any benefit to not booking seats online and turning up at the airport and hoping they can seat us together? It's a long old flight to be sat between two people your don't know..
Thank you!
