I tried changing the middle in AUh but not of the agents agreed to do for free.
Thanks for the update.
I will be connecting at AUH on a CGK-AUH-LIS itinerary. Would agents change assigned seat in AUH for the onwards leg if payment is offered once I arrive in AUH? Also do you know whether the seat selection fee is the same when booking at airport as when booking in advance?
In this case, it seems like there is no point of checking-in online in advance as we can no longer select our seat?
