thanks:.
AY won't let you select seats on a codeshare flight. I think AY prime flights booked through Avios are the same since AY wouldn't be the plating or ticketing carrier. From the AY website do an online chat or from the APP click on ... more to get to the chat feature. A little convoluted getting to an agent but once you do, they can assign a seat for no fee if you have the appropriate status.
