I'm assuming it never saved my seat selection when I did it before and 3A is just whatever was open when I went to check in. So yet another failure.
I haven't flown the return yet, and I can't see my seat assignment for the WS leg (and I haven't bothered to have an agent look it up), but the cabin is sold out and 3A is the only seat not occupied, so what do you want to bet I'm going to end up in 3A on the way back too?
Interesting data point. We recently had a KL/WS itinerary and when I was finally able to get a BP I discovered that we were in 1AC when I know we had not preselected those seats as the flight was on the Q400 and it can be a pain to find space in the bins for all our stuff due to no seat in front. I wondered if the seat selection had not taken originally, but generally this has not been an issue before.
