Have they revamped the T3 seat allocation for free or what?
Last time, I could not print my boarding pass witihn T3hrs but instead the OLCI requested me payment all the time! Okay at one point it let me through so got the Bpass online but then,when changing seat I wanted to change back to exit door A seat and again it asked for payment and to checkinat airport, I got worried butentered security with mobile BP. At gate I asked if everything is ok and, they said wait we might need to upgrade you as *gold. Then on boarding , red beep and a new boarding passbut no business class but instead bumped out from exitrow to 14F
So have they fixed that checkin feature or policing now exitrow fees?

Won’t fly TAP again. ZERO legroom on A320 and only a tart from LIS to MAD with no beverage service. Lazy crew.

Played around a bit during olci but always got the seat it randomly picked for me and a request to pay 22€ for any other seat. Checked in anyway. No problem changing it to a nicer seat upfront in Y at the airport kiosk at T-2.5h. it's one of the 'red' seats with more leg space and the middle seat is free.

I'm about to try this. Flying LHR-LIS-MIA. Don't care about seats on LHR-LIS, but want better seats for LIS-MIA (they have assigned me and partner to 2 middle seats in the central block of 4....). I tried to pick us a pair of window seats for check in, but obviously was asked to pay. As others suggested here, I abandoned check in at that point. Not sure how we will go at the airport though, because our flight to Lisbon leaves before T-3 on the next flight. So I guess I'll see what the counter agent offers.
