I could call CO and sit on hold, but I thought I'd try you guys first
And, you will sit on hold. I had the same question for CO for the CPH-LGW sector, and after multiple phone calls (sitting on hold) and agents, I did not get the same answer twice, and none of the responses were especially cogent.
Also, I could not get Continental to sell me a ticket for the sector
unless it was part of a CO itinerary. The reason that I could not ticket it as part of a CO itinerary is because I was told that I could not fly a Maersk operated flight while using a CO Electronic Ticket Certificate (which I had to use for this trip). I ultimately purchased the ticket (CPH-LGW) through American Express and paid $ 20 more ($91.00) than CO was pricing it out at, but did not want to sell me on a separate basis.
I was told to call Maersk, but so far as I know, Maersk does not have a U.S. desk for reservations.
Sorry, I know this does not answer you question, but I wanted to provide some anecdotal evidence regarding my experiece with CO related to Maersk. All in all, it was a very frustrating experience. I was going to ask them about the seating situation, but never got that far.
That written, I would also like to know what the seating situation is for Maersk.
