This was pre-covid, but I always paid extra for the front row, even when I had zero status.
What's the difference between 25k and no status for seat selection?
The first few rows (non-preferred seats) in the cabin are blocked for status holders or Latitude fares to book. Seat selection fees still apply depending on the fare or status held.
25K members do not get any free seat selection on fares where it's not included.
