Hi All,
I'm flying ICN - SYD in June and noticed today my aircraft swapped from a 787-9 to a 777-300ER.
I am flying business class and wondering if anyone has any information on selecting the former business class seats in Rows 1 and 2. I've read that these can be selected by business class passengers.
Expert Flyer shows them as blocked and KE aren't selling first class on the route?
Will they be open for selection at check in or a dedicated time before hand? Or do they just not occupy them?
First time flying with KE so not familiar with their policies.
Appreciate your assistance!
I was seated in 2A on a paid business class ticket on ICN-FUK. It was a B77W with the old Cosmo Suites. Originally I chose 15H which is the last row of business, but on the way to the airport I noticed they moved me to 2A. I asked the check-in agent at the premium counter and she said it was due to 'capacity control', but the business class cabin was half empty.
I am Morning Calm, so I guess they just assign F seats to elite passengers in C if they don't operate F for that route.
Also, I purchased the lowest C fare (the reason I flew business on this very short route was because it only had like a $30 difference with the lowest Y fares, as I planned my trip one week before departure), so I guess as long as you are elite then fare class doesn't matter. The F seats were blocked on my screen when I was booking.
