Seat assignments need to (generally) done on the operating carrier's website.
You will need the operating carrier's PNR (note for the LH Group, UA's PNR will work)
You can get the operating carrier's PNR from your UA reservation, by calling UA or by calling the operating carrier.
Additionally, you likely will need passenger's name info -- this can be tricky for some as various parts of the name, middle name, suffix, prefix, .. can be concatenated.
Some carriers charge for seat assignments and if the flight is a UA codeshare this may create a problem
The seat assignment may not be reflected on the UA reservation
If the above does not work, some have has success calling or tweeting the operating carrier
Was able to assign seats on an SQ award booking I did for family yesterday (CCU-SIN-HKG) directly on United's website - made it very easy. Also get A359 as one of the birds on this trip...very nice ^
yeah, I was able to pick seats on my ANA flights during the booking process! So nice!
Can you reserve seats on AV operated flight on UA award? Do I have to call in? flight is from EZE-BOG-JFK
