AC8 HKG-YVR blocked seats roll 19-24 77WHD
My friend and I (E25k) booked FLEX fare on AC8 and have access to row 19-24. My mom (no status), however on a separate reservation, with FLEX fare, does not. Does anyone know if the rolls will be release at check in (T-24)? Is there a way to pay and select a seat for her? I just wanted to secure 19J for her. Thank you.

The seats are not any different than the rest of the HD seats (ie.awful), and yes what is leftover is opened up at checkin, and anyone can move there.
I'd probably book her an aisle or window somewhere else. In case 19J is occupied, the person would love to swap for a non-middle. |
That section is reserved for Altitude, and Y/B pax.
However, as an altitude member, you can ask to override and book a companion travelling with you in that section, but you have to call. Standard fees apply though. |

to the OP, as per others here, I've also been able to call in (as a status Altitude member) to get a non-status traveling companion to sit with me in the front of Y.

Rolls???

On a similar subject I have a flex fare booked on YLW-YYZ on AC Rouge. There are no preferred/exit row seats available which I should have access to as SE. I called the concierge and she confirmed that but also said that there are some seats being held and will be released for airport control. I hope these are not preferred seats as I would hate to be stuck in my current seat on a Rouge flight while AC hangs onto preferred seats.

I'm sure the OP meant "rows". Or an airplane with a Rows Royce engine. :p

I did call the AC Hong Kong number (coz I'm in HK), the agent told me that those rows are blocked and there is nothing he could do about it. He told me to check in early and see if those seat can be selected.
I'll call the Canadian number tonight and report back. Thanks everyone for the insight. Update: So I just called the E25k number, the agent exact wording is: Unless she has an altitude status, she would not be able to select those seat, even on Flex fare. I asked if I can pay a fee to select 19J and he said no. He linked our booking references together and that's all he could do for us for now. Hopefully no one would select a middle seat 19J. |

Hang up call again. There's a seat override they can do specifically for your situation.
"Hello, I'm an E25K, I'm seated in 19K, and I'd like to move my mom so that she can sit next to me please" |
