Can Emerald pre-assign Business on QF?
I have just confimed my flights for an AONE4 I am doing next year and called QF to ask about pre-assignment of Biz seats on my domestic legs.
The agent told me that they do not pre-assign.
Aren't preferred seats part of the OW Emerald beneifts? Or does this not apply to QF?

What Viajero posted is correct. All is not lost, however.
With QF domestic, you can register your seating preferences for each sector. i.e. Window/Aisle, Forward/Aft
Over 95% of QF domestic preallocation is done by computer software at approx 15:00 UTC every day. Status is taken into account and as an Emerald, you are more than likely to get something akin to your registed preference.
I suggest contacting QF again and ensuring your seating preferences are registered for each segment.

I suppose we see the occasional 747 operating domestic flights, but its not very common to have business class seats in exit rows on domestic flights. Of course those domestic sectors of international flights do permit pre-allocation of seats.

Last time I flew domestic I requested window in advance in Y and was allocated a seat in the only row on the plane with no windows
Will call to ensure my Emerald status is recorded also.
