Hi all -- I'm new to the forums and to Ultimate Rewards so I apologize if this is an obvious question.

I'm trying to book an Air New Zealand flight through the UR portal (LAX->SYD) and I'd like to book the SkyCouch option. I won't be using points. When I go to check out, it won't let me select seats and therefore I can't select SkyCouch. The seats are open and available on the ANZ website.

Can I add (and pay for) the SkyCouch option once ticketed? I don't want to book this flight unless I can get SkyCouch, so trying to be absolutely sure I can add that option after purchase. Flight is in November, BTW.

Thanks so much! And if this is a better question for the ANZ forum please let me know and I'll re-post there.
