DId you use an OTA? I used expedia to book and MU usa website is having hang up at the "loading page" screen

My flight is code-shared with CA so it may be an issue (HNL-PEK-KMG leg on CA metal, then KMG-SGN on MU metal)

I provided them with 006 stock ticket number/ MU PNR (which I got from @DeltaAssist)/ Passenger names/ and desired seats - and they were able to assign it without problem within 2 days.
Looks like this may be easier.....I'll try these emails

I wrote back and asked for window seats on the 1-2-1 cabin flights. 10 minutes later I'd been reassigned as requested. Included appropriate rows of the res system entry showing flights, dates, class of service, timing, and seats.
I'm flying JFK-PVG-NRT/HIJ-PVG-JFK so no overnights required in PVG.
Let's hope I get non-smoking pilots.
Yeah looks like I will try email. Their US website has not been helpful and I could not navigate easily the Chinese website

UPDATE: I got this auto email reply when sending an email to the [email protected] email address:
