AC randomly changing seats
At T-24 checked-in and selected row 19. It's not preferred or anything, and I had a seat open next to me. Holding a mobile boarding pass.
Now I'm row 24 and I'm in a less desirable seat. I know seat assignments aren't guaranteed - but why would AC do this - no equipment change? |

It could be any number of reasons. What is your route and aircraft? June 2018 https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-...-my-seats.html Dec 2016 https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-...red-seats.html |

As per @24left this happens from time to time even without IRROPs/FIN swaps/etc. Was someone else occupied in your original row 19 seat? (if not, maybe the seat was broken or it has cooties) And how do you know for sure there wasn't an equipment change? As per @24left which route, flight number, aircraft, and date of flight? (today? since you said "now" and T-24 checkin) |
It’s SYD-YVR. Pretty confident it’s the same equipment... When calling an agent their response was “we can’t see anything unless you cancel your check-in” @gate it was "they had to sit a family of 3 next to each other". Although it doesn't look like a family when I walk by. Spoiled in Australia by QF... |

Spoiled in Australia by QF... In Econ good food and drinks were offered even for the short flight between MEL and SYD. That's what competition does. |

I've been very impressed with QF in both econ and business. I particularity liked the innovative menu in Biz . Who would have thought there was an alternative to omelette/sausage/salsa!

That's what competition does. @shuuy What you described is common (seating a family "together" and sacrificing a singleton for it). Sorry to hear that happened. But just to note, a metal swap can also mean to the same aircraft type but different FIN - and occasionally this can even result in seat changes (especially when the cabin seating configs are not identical from one FIN to another, even if the same metal type). |
It happens. In April for me, YVR-YYZ, PY, went from window middle row to bulkhead window, changed about 48hrs out. Asked at check-in, met with blank stare. Person in my old seat had SE tags hanging from carry-on. Coincidence?
