Purchased F Unable to Select Seat at Checkin
Hi all,
I am trying to check into a flight from LAS-CLT and while I am confirmed in F(I purchased F), I am unable to select a seat and a (blank) appears after accepting all seat assignments.
Does this mean that I am going to get a "nice" surprise downgrade when arriving at the gate tomorrow
Or will US simply assign the Pilot's rest seat (as it is a 752 Envoy) tomorrow when I arrive at the airport?
Any insight is appreciated,
Dan

You will probably get 1A, which is held back for handicapped pax traveling in F. They don't oversell F so the theoretical handicapped pax would already have a F ticket, in which case they'd get 1A and you'd get whatever ticket they're holding. Usually these are released for assignment 24 hours in advance but i might be remembering it wrong and it's "day of travel". If you reprint your pass upon arrival at LAS it'll 9 times out of 10 let you pick that last chair.
I don't think they hold a seat for crew rest on domestic flight even if it's the Envoy config.

Actually the system does hold 3D on the Envoy equipped 757s even on domestic flights. If you look at a seat map for domestic Envoy 757 flights, youll see seat 3D missing from the seat map.

Really? Because I had 3D on that plane LAS-CLT last week, selected when I got upgraded 4 or 5 days out.

Pick random domestic flights (flights weeks out to get more "open" flights) operated by the Envoy equipped 757s and youll see 3D completely missing from the seat maps.

As it turns out I was assigned 3D only after I OLCIed.
Thank you all for your reassurances,
Dan
