    My inside information from a QF manager is that the system allocates seating by priority based on status.

    Local staff have less choice in moving people around than previously.

    The system aligns to the Amadeus booking system.

    Re: Qantas New Check In Seating Allocation

    Hi all,

    What happens if there are multiple Plat's on each flight, how then does the system work out who sits where?

    Is it based on years of platinum/alphabetical order/price of ticket/luck?

    The OLCI system has given this humble PS (approaching SG) a 738 exit row window for the third time in a row BNE - CNS. A WP scored the B seat beside me. See how I go TSV - BNE on Thursday

    A Brisbane - Perth flight I took a few months ago I noticed everyone in the exit isle was over 6'4" tall. They arrived separately and weren't travelling together so the "basketball team theory" was out.

    Made me wonder if tall people get tagged in the system to get priority in those seats.

    It would be nice to think that this was the case .... but apparently short Platinums with broom handles inserted are also very tall.

    My guess would be cost of airfare or booking class is used to break the deadlock and if there is still no clear priority then the system may look at years of membership or status or some sort of weighting system taking into consideration importance of the passenger to QF.

    QF Plat 06 -current - LTS, 90% to LTG

    Re: Qantas New Check In Seating Allocation

    hmm, i am flying F MEL-BKK next week and it has allocated me 1A from SYD-BKK and no allocation so far from MEL-SYD in J. I will have to ring up and ask for either 4AK or 3AK as I like those rows the best when getting the rare chance to fly F. Maybe one day QF will allow on line seat selection or allow your profile to select specific seats.

    QF to not allow pre-allocation for domestic flights, so you won't see anything allocated until you check-in for the flight. QF will auto-allocate your domestic seat about 24 hours before scheduled departure - when OLCI opens.

    oh ok, i hope it allows me to use OLCI for my MEL-SYD leg as I have an SYD-BKK onward leg on the same booking and I am sure it will not let me OLCI for that leg?
