Seats selected, I didnt get round to checking in on line and left it until the airport. The airport kiosk didnt let me check in and directed us to a desk where we were upgraded to WTP. The flight was overbooked in WT, so I`m wondering if the payment for seats in some way helped us up the priority list for upgrade.
Not sure how true it is but a similar thing happened to me - I'd paid to book the two seats in WT towards the rear of a 747 where it tapers (and they cost an arm and a leg!). But we were upgraded to WTP at the gate - which was nice!It was Christmas though and we had spent 20 minutes listening to a lot of people complaining about almost missing out on seats. I was told on here that priority is given to Executive club and to people who have paid for seat allocation. I generally prefer to pay so me and the wife can sit together but have noticed the price is starting to rocket...
