Pro tip - this ticketed after I saw inventory light up on BA's site for T-330 days. That happened at noon PT.
So if you're playing this game of trying to book as far out in advance as possible, inventory drops at noon seem to be the "ticket".

LATAM economy seat selection not free?
I booked a LAX-SCL (J, stopover), SCL-LIM (Y). I got seats fine on LAX-SCL but for SCL-LIM, LATAM is telling me (via Twitter) that I need to pay USD22 for seat selection. Is this really the case? Most if not all of my economy award bookings with other airlines have free seat selection so I was just surprised. I'm gonna try again (e.g. calling in) but wondering if other folks can confirm or refute this.
