For business suites it starts at 500 and SEN/HON can have it for 400, I expect here's it's a discount at play therefore likely also in F.
For 2 pax on the same PNR with no ASR, well - automatic seating logic would apply, right? And that is meant to put higher status in better seat, i.e. the center suite...

Presumably the problem with all of this is that Allegris was conceived pre-COVID, in the days where corporate travel existed at a much higher rate than it does today. In those days, the seat selection fees here would be paid by the corporate, and similar to YQ, would be part of their ancillary spend, and thus not eligible for rebates like the base fare would be? Pure profit for something that's inherent in the product.
Now that corporate long haul travel is less than it used to be, and premium leisure is a much bigger factor, the uptake of these charges is going to be less than they modelled in the first place. Be interesting to see how this turns out.

But it's not a double bed, is it? It lacks the flexibility of a double bed product like SQ F & J or QR J; it only has one screen for both passengers, and one has to jump over the other passenger to exit while in bed mode. And for all the marketing noise about how flexible Allegris J is, the F cabin has no flexibility. Do you want to work while your partner is watching a movie? Tough luck, there's only one screen.

Seat selection fees for Allegris Business ....
Thinking 1, 2, 3,
Surely these extra fees will generate also Points or Qualifying Points or HON Circle Points...
No? Not even 1 Point per €500 seat selection fee or 1 HON Circle Point per €1000 seat selection fee for Allegris F?
......
That was my Christmas fantasy, fuzzy feeling is away, where is Krampus when you need him.....
