Welcome to FlyerTalk, john1585!

Call LY and ask them for the seats. Alternatively, go to the LY website and use the Manage My Booking tab to select your seats online. Make sure you take seats downstairs as upstairs is only 2-2.

"My wife and I are both GLs. We are traveling with our infant for whom we also bought a business class ticket. We'd like to sit together in a place where a bassinet can be placed please."

john1585, welcome to FT.

We are all here to help, but do you really need for someone to hold your hand when you call them up?
You’re a GL, surely none of this is new to you….?

The seat map on the website will often show exit / bulkhead seats as occupied when in fact they are not.

No of course not everyone, but the OP (and his wife) are GL's...

I think yosithezet's reply summers it up; I honestly cannot see what the problem was.

I've been waiting this whole time for someone to start talking about this in this thread. I flew BKK-TLV Wed night and after we landed I noticed a guy that was upstairs with me in the 747 walking through the terminal with what I assume was his wife and son and thought of this very topic.

what would be intresting to disscus is what do full paying bussiness class ticket holders think about childern or infants for that matter flying bussines as they are not the quietest passengers on the plane and if you have a infant which pay about £120 -150 and could, lets hope mine dosen't cry the whole way
