the twitter team told me “I can see in our system that you have selected seat X. There is a request in the booking for seat Y for your wife. At this point, we would be unable to adjust the seating on the booking as the seating is now controlled by the airport. If seat Y is available, the airport will confirm this. If now, then you'll be able to select different seats together at the airport.”

is there really no way I can book a seat for my wife? I don’t want to risk having to sit separately on an 11 hour flight....
What is your flight number and departure date? We can tell you how busy the flight is. If not busy, you need not worry
