CX seating assignment
Hello, i booked daughter and wife on cx879 sfo to hkg on march 22 2012 and cx 870 apr 13 2012 return to sfo. I still need to book my seat later when they release more seats. However, i did a dummy booking on cx today and it shows 8/9 seats occupied on cx879 and 7/9 occupied on cx870.
Can smeone confirm through one of your travel tools that the seats are truly occupied? I believe that cx blocks out the bassinet seats but even so, im a bit worried that they may not release the remaning seats for redemption. Im a bit shocked that there are folks paying full fare for them. Or maybe cx opened some up for aia mil members to redeem?
An help is appreciated.

I remember cx used to block 2/9 bassinet seats on their 744 plane but it looks like they are blocking the rear 5 seats now?
Could it be that they plan to change plane to 77w thus only allowing 4 seats to be bookable with the two bassinet seats blocked off? Just speculations from what im seeing.

Thx ernest.
For some reason when i do a dummy rev booking, rows 3-4 were all blocked out.
It looks like seats in tjose rows are blocked as supposed to available for purchase. I wonder why they block them instead of trying to sell them?
I just signed p for expertflyer and looks like row three is black due to handicap accessile and row 4 are premium seats and are blocked off. Besides the bassinet, are they mor desirable than rows 1 or 2?

You are confusing yourself. Reservation and seat assignment are 2 separate things. You can book a seat without having a seat number assigned. Therefore, CX is selling all the seats in F, but not all the seats in F can be reserved. On the other hand, only the bassinet ones are truly blocked, and all the other ones can be selected if you give CX a call.
Full F fare but my MPC number was not linked at the time.

That's quite an update. Over the past few months since the system migration most members here have been unable to secure bassinet seats even if we say that we are willing to give it up in the event that someone with baby needs it.

I asked the rep to add my MPC number to the booking after the seat assignment was done and she went "oh, okay, so you're Gold? Well I feel better about assigning you to the priority seat!"
Are the bassinet truly that much better? Id imagine any seats on first should be plemty of space?
