Success with advance seat selection (International)
Fly SYD - JNB on Thursday and have managed to change seats to 1A and 1K at T-72. I'm sure E/F seats would be better for a couple, but I can't see myself in F again anytime soon, so wanted to sit in 1A at least once in my life.
Interestingly I have not been able to do better than row 3 (737) on the MEL - SYD flight the day before.

I know QF will put J in the 747 but it is not the same.

Not sure if it is an empty flight or not, but I pretty much had free choice of any seat in the cabin except the two seats that do not show up for the SA codeshare. The only other seat I could not pick was 2A. The seat selection Gods must be shining on me.
