Quick Seat Selection Question

This may very well have been covered but I cannot find it.

I want to but a ticket in CE for a very dear friend to come to ALC. What I want to know is this. I will not traveling on the booking but as a Gold can I select a seat for her, or will I have to pay? Any advice is gratefully received.

You cannot select a seat for her if you are not travelling on the booking, otherwise I would be running a very lucrative seat booking service

...and as you'd have to pay I wouldn't bother. I'm sure your friend would be delighted with CE and wouldn't notice the very minor difference between one seat or another that some of the rest of us might care about.

Agreed on not paying right off... monitor cabin and make a decision nearer the time

You could book for both of you in the same booking and assign seats then cancel off your reservation without charge under the 24h rule. That would be the work around here.
