Just booked a China Eastern flight (TPE-PVG) using Delta SkyMiles. What surprised me was that I was apparently able to select my seat (40C).
Is this a glitch?
Normally, you would get the partner's confirmation number, and then go on their website to manage your booking. This is the first time I was able to select a seat on a partner flight directly on Delta's website.
FYI: The first time I selected my seat on Delta.com, I received an error message stating that there was an issue, and to try again. I did, and then my seat selection stuck (at least I think).
Also, I don't see any other confirmation numbers on my booking receipt that I could use to manage my booking on China Eastern's website. How would I get this?
