CDG - YYC. Award ticket buying seats
We booked an award flight from CDG-YYC in July. Coach tickets. It looks like we have no baggage and no seat selection. Can we buy seats? If yes, any particular good seats to purchase? Bulkhead?

When you say an "award flight" can you be more precise? Did you book a ticket with WestJet Dollars (whether regular or Member Exclusive), or did you book through DL, AF/KL, etc?

I am actually probably ok with this. It was 58k Flying Blue (2 people) points which is super low, so flipping to CDG-AMS-SFO is probably fine. This should also get me bags and seat selection so lets see. Also funny as we are flying SFO-AMS on the way out and taking the train to Paris.

All this of course is dependent on the EU opening back up to American tourist, so... Ill let you know how it goes.

I was hopeful that they could restore some of their TATL ops by July but at this point, its looking like Summer is a lost cause for international travel (in Canada at least).
