Me neither on my multi bookings on the app. Not even „change flights“ is available.
When log in in Manage booking on web browser at least can change seats on some of my bookings. But not in all my bookings.
Look like it’s too complicated to integrate the new layout of seatmap in to the app

thanks for the feedback. i was trying to do it from the app. no option to choose seats.
tried the mobile web browser. "select seats" showed up but led to a blank page when I clicked on it.
ended up just calling the qatar reservations office in my city.

It appears that Qatar has updated the seat selection elements of their web-site. But there appears to be a few bugs.
I was able to view the seats I had selected but I don't think it was working as designed. In the same itinerary I have encountered three different display scenarios:
* The A350-900 seat maps display with new graphics, but the seat I have selected shows just like any other occupied seat with a grey 'x'. If I look at the top of the display, it states the seat I have selected, but isn't highlighted on the graphical seat map.
* The Q-Suite A350-1000 flights in my itinerary are working fine. The seat selection is stated, and the seat map highlights my chosen seat in green.
* The Finnair seat map on my itinerary no longer displays. It just states 'Flight not operated by Qatar Airways'. Previously you were able to display and select a seat like any other flight. This is a backward step.
It doesn't appear that Qatar have done any robust testing. The lack of displaying your chosen seat on the seat map works for some aircraft, but not others. I haven't noticed any improvements in functionality. The major changes are the graphics, which were perfectly adequate before, and the fact that you can view seat maps without the forward and back navigation of pages as the flights are displayed in collapsing tabs on the same screen.
It is still the case that you cannot view Seat Maps from the Qatar mobile iOS app. They've just removed that basic functionality.

The days have passed and the option for choosing seats is still not back. I am wondering if because my reservation involves a LATAM-leased A350 A/C they forgot to update this type of seat-map. Can anyone with a QaTAM A350 involved in their booking confirm if they can see the seat map and choose a seat? Thank you.

Sounds like you have an issue with the aircraft type (LATAM leased A350)

I can access the seat map for my LHR-DOH Q-suite but all seats are crossed out so unable to select any. No problems selecting seats for other legs of my journey.
I've tried calling local office but no answer (fair enough, they've probably got lots of queries at the moment).

Thank you very much for the update, MikeLonW7. It seems then I should wait until they realize they should update also the seat map for the LATAM A350.
