I can select seats up front but can't save the seat assignment for an existing booking. I'm pretty sure this is intentional. |

I’m able to select seats in former GF during booking. No extra charge and that’s even for a non-status passenger. |

On the app, the F seats on my TPAC 772 flights have been replaced with orange squares that look like domestic F seats. On the web, they've just changed the red seats to orange -- same angled image and everything. I was able to select one at no charge, and it shows up as such on the web and the phone. No idea if it will stick. I'm 1K, so maybe it's done by status.

And that seat 6J is not going to stay empty for long. And the risk of ending up in a middle seat. As Voltaire said: "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" (The best is the enemy of the good). Decisions, decisions.....
- the upside (that it sticks) is very high - the flights I have this on are 2+ months out with plenty of non middles still available - if they kick us out it will likely be in the next couple of days - absolute worst case of a middle seat is still not the end of the world. I’ve done it before. So I’m ok to take the risk. |

I had seat 6A for both segments, and only chose this route (with the pmUA 3-class) BECAUSE I saw 6A empty. Now I changed to first class cabin. I'll be pretty annoyed if this doesn't stick! But I guess that's the risk of this 'game'. :) |

Just looked at an upcoming transatlantic reservation in P on a 3-class 777. I can change seats to the first class cabin, but they want an extra $599 for added comfort and privacy.

I had three W/L for F on 3-cabin 777-200ER planes (two international segments and one domestic), with purchased business fares. Each reseated me in the in the F cabin during the transition last night. I called GS, and the friendly agent confirmed that all instruments (a GPU, a miles+$, and an RPU) were all redeposited and that the seats will stick, unless the planes are swapped to two-cabin Polaris.
