JQ Seat Selection

[Peter JB]

I'm flying JQ this week...and I have already chosen my seats online. Of course the exit rows are never available to select so my question - who gets them? If they cannot be selected online, what if the plane fills up in bookings, are they made available then to the last 12 bookings because everyone else has taken all the others (assuming naturally that every person has booked all other seats online AND have chosen a seat)? The dangerous part of this of course is that children will be in the last 12. So I'm interested in how that works.

Whilst I have booked, if I get to check in early enough, can I request the exit seat and therefore swap for my already booked seat?

Interested to hear any thoughts on this.

Check in online (24hrs before departure) and see if they are available, if so, move.

However when we booked a Jetflex fare from Mel -> Per, all exit row seats were available, so i would bet they are taken.

[Peter JB]

Ah yes - Jetflex. Of course, you get the seats made available. Oh well, I guess my only chance is that nobody has booked a Jetflex fare!!

Even if they are free at check-in, you still need to secure them before anybody else does.

No guarantees...

Normally the Exit Row on Airline Systems are not available due to restrictions in place by the airline or governing body. The restrictions in place are, A Person must be over 15 years of age, Able Bodied and must be able to understand English. Weird that they allow only JetFlex passengers into the row, but it does make sense. Reward the people that pay the most.

I would like to see what happens when people check in at the kiosk. At Qantas, it will print out a rejection pass so a customer service officer can assess the person to see if they are suitable, does anyone know if this is the same for JetStar?

...and willing to help out in an emergency if required.

They didnt care at bag drop.

We got asked once we sat down by the F/A if we satisfied the CASA rules.
