About to book a SYD-xHKG-FRA return itinerary in Economy for two pax — my partner and I. I need some flexibility in my plans so I’ll be booking an Economy Core ticket for myself, while I plan to book my partner into an Economy Save ticket, which will save ~ 1000 AUD in superfluous spending.
I am a QF OWE and know I can select any seat on all flights (including my preferred bulkhead seat). Will the call centre allow me to have my partner (separate booking, no status) next to me?
Companion seating on separate PNRs but the same flight is a benefit QF provide but I’ve never been in this situation with CX.
Thank you in advance.
I encountered the same stiuation as CX elite last year.
What I did was to phone CX agent, told her my name and booking reference, as well as my travel partner's.
As long as the agent confirmed we both were on the same plane, CX could pre-select my partner's seat..
As QF Emerald, you could pre-select any seats, but your partner's seat could be only regular ones without any extra charge, like exit seats.
CX treat OW partner very well, so I suppose you would share this privilege as I did.
