Online chat and calling Finnair they've told me that seat selection isn't free for Oneworld Ruby but none of this above makes sense. Will the above approach to claim a refund work? Did you file for refund as soon as you'd paid for it?
To extend your seat reservation benefit to another person, the other person needs to be on the same booking.
If you are on seperate bookings, it doesn‘t work by the book.
