Azri M. 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 only if you fly with MHsmart and MHfullflex economy or Business class that you can preselect your seats. MHlow and MHbasic dont allow you to preselect seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be for all fare types - I was able to make use of this feature even when doing our zero fare bargains last year. Assuming zero fare falls into the lowest class possible ? Any lower class and MH may have to pay you to fly with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming zero fare falls into the lowest class possible ? Any lower class and MH may have to pay you to fly with them Yeah, when I bought my ticket last January it had allowed me to choose. But today I did a dummy booking and for the lowest class, you cannot choose seats, but for the mentioned ones, you can. I think they just changed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Discounted EY ticket can no longer request a seat. You may however choose your preferred seat at the time of check-in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may however choose your preferred seat at the time of check-in. Which makes it all the better to fly with SQ! The return fare is cheaper for my travel (last week of Nov). I can choose my preferred seat online without paying extra. And I get better service from their Customer Service hotline. This is how a 5-star airline should sell their products. 5-star service, not 5-star 'cheap'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You only get free seat selection during web check-in which is the same as in MH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foods on SQ also seem much more appetizing too and not just some foods in a box If based on seat, SQ does not allow preselect seats during booking in any Fare type. You only get free seat selection during web check-in which is the same as in MH. SIA DOES allow their EY passenger to preselect his/her preferred seat when making booking. Last time only the sector KUL/SIN where passengers weren't allowed to request their favourite seats. Not sure if this is still the case though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant that SQ doesnt have the preselect seat facility ONLINE. I could not see that option when trying the mock booking on SQ website. I am sure you can request for preferred seats by calling the customer service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure you can request for preferred seats by calling the customer service. Actually the option was there last time i flew SQ. Just that the sector KUL/SIN is blocked from seat request. Yes, i'm talking about their online booking facility too. Tony managed to book his preferred seat online too last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure you can request for preferred seats by calling the customer service. Mock booking wouldnt take you to the seat selection. You have to purchase the ticket online to make specific seat selection in Y. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I believe you can always go back and check your bookings and make the necessary changes including your seats online. Somehow I thought I have done so before but that was on PEN - SIN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
