I'm flying Tuesday IAD - ACC - JNB on SAA (hopefully their new J product... please let me know if I'm wrong for next Tuesday's flight...)
I booked via United and when I went to select my seat with them, it gave the error message: "
Seat selection and changes are not available for this flight at this time. You’ll be assigned a seat during check-in. For additional information, visit the operating airline’s website.
Should I just call SAA directly or can I only select a seat from 24-hours before departure? Seeing as it's international long haul, and in J, perhaps there is a way... thanks!
