SFO777

Not sure why you care about checkmytrip. All of your PNRs for each airline are available on your reservation on UA.com.

My flights for this trip are spread out on 4 airlines and I would like to view seat assignments in one place. However my UA reservation only shows the UA seat assignment and not the partner flights. LongingForORD suggested I could do so on checkmytrip.com.

I can't view my seat assignments on CA and OZ's websites (I've followed instructions for OZ, but it doesn't work for me). I just want to monitor them to make sure they are confirmed after my initial call, and that they don't get reassigned for some reason (I've heard that happening).

I have my PNR for the flights but they need an email address prior to the Check In period.

Does UA use a generic email address? Or attempt to use your MP Email address?

I have a UA economy award booking on August 5th flying UA SFO-LAX and then transferring to NZ5/NZ123 to return to Melbourne. I used the seat selection option on NZ website to change my seat on NZ5 but the UA booking is still showing my original seat selection.

My concern is that when I check-in on UA their system will issue the BP for the wrong seat assignment. Am I worrying needlessly?

sbm12

Yup. You're likely going to want to check in with NZ anyways when you get to LAX.

This is frequent for bookings on other airlines. The record with the operating carrier will reflect the most current seat assignment.

if it holds on seat select tool on the NZ website you are good to go. i am dealing with the same thing on one of my bookings. my seats on the NZ90 767 appeared to have fallen off, but a call to NZ indicated they were blocking the seatmap for changes, hopefully this means a transition to lie flat 777 is pending

Thanks for the feedback. So it sounds like I can tag my bag through at SFO but get the BPs for NZ flights at LAX. Thanks again.

Even if UA prints your BPs make sure you get them reprinted at LAX by NZ. For some reason TSA at LAX have come up with a rule (or had at Christmas) that the BPs must be printed by NZ to be valid for getting through security. It wasted at least half an hour queuing up and then being sent back to get "valid" boarding passes.

danielc

Great, thanks for the heads up about the BPs!

Hello, today I was finally able to book my first United Award to Rome. This was my first time booking a United trip in recent times. We leave San Francisco on United, transfer in Chicago and continue to Frankfurt Germany on United. We then board Lufthansa to go to Rome. I have seat assignments for San Francisco to Chicago and Chicago to Frankfurt Germany. I can't get seat assignment for Frankfurt to Rome and I have a 50 minute connection time. Can I call ahead to get seat assignments or do we need to go to the ticket agent once we get there. Any help is appreciated.

I don't worry about my return trip home since we are returning via Lufthansa and I got seat assignments for the second portion and the first portion of the trip I just check in online 24 hours before leaving and select seats.

No worries. Lufthansa does not provide seat assignments on intra-Europe Economy class flights until check-in. When you check in with United at SFO, you should get boarding passes for all three flights, including the FRA-FCO flight. The United check-in desk at SFO or the Lufthansa transfer desk at FRA should be able to help you if you need to change the seat assignments on the short flight.

Now I am confused why some can't choose seats on inter EU. Just flew WRO-FRA on a separate ticket then FRA-LAX. No issues in choosing seats.....

How do select seats for Lufthansa and Thai Airlines when part of an award ticket? Can it be done without using a telephone?

Pull the TG and LH PNRs from the UA reservation - and do whatever the TG and LH boards say works. Not sure how those respective airlines' websites work.
