Seat Select display
Anyone else seeing weird things going on with seat select on already booked fights. Android app
We have a couple of domestic add ons to an intl and both domestic flights had almost open availability of HVC seats, today neither flight has any availability for HVC seats, our seats have remained selected but all other HVC seats have been greyed out.
On looking further non HVC seats now have a $5 fee on them so I am wondering if it's an issue with recognising status.
May be related to applying the price increase on seat select.....
I've recently dropped from Elite to Gold a few weeks back but this does not change my HVC seat accessibility
Anyone else....or just me?

Looks like something is broken on all domestic flights. Showing all FF / preferred seating as full.
Issue doesn't seem to be occuring on TT or longhaul flights in my bookings.

Thanks everyone, yes just a glitch with the 'enhancement', mine is back now too.
Interesting Thai-Kiwi yours shows a decent amount of HVCs carved off as preferred, my domestics are not split like that.
But yes mine now shows standard economy seats need to be paid for ($5), wonder what happens when HVC are all taken do.we now have to pay for seat select up the back, great value add there!

PE bulkhead seats now gone up from $75 to $120!
Looks like my existing booking preserves the original pricing, but a dummy booking shows the new pricing.
Exisiting booking
Dummy booking same flight

They are losing the plot and will lose the race. I am a super loyal AurNZ pax (forced to QF by company but still paying stupid fare differentials to mainrain E). I am running out of excuses to the Chancellor.

It's going to be very interesting to see how much domestic fares go up by next week. So far they've simply "increased" fares by shuffling fare bucket availability.
