I know that to receive OnePass mileage, one must book the 44xx flight number, not the VS number. I also am aware that CO "buys" 10 seats in Upper and 50 seats in Economy on most of the VS codeshare flights. My question is: can you seat-select before the flight? Economy would be bearable in an aisle seat, but the thought of being shoehorned in a middle seat on LAX-LHR is almost unthinkable ...


P.S. Just to be safe let me ask another question: Am I correct that, as long as you are booked in CO inventory (44xx) the miles count for ELITE STATUS ?? Thanks!
