How to select JAL seats on a Qantas international awards booking

Booked a Qantas award flight on JAL and can't select your seats. Well depending on how picky you are you won't need to call the call centre. Read on

When you book with a OneWorld airline you can view your booking on any other Oneworld airlines website. Except for funnily enough JAL.

If you’ve booked a mixture of Qantas and JAL sectors the best way to change your seats for the JAL sectors is to view your booking on the Cathay Pacific website.

This will allow you to select a seat preference (Window or Aisle) then as soon as you save it, JAL will allocate you a seat. If you don’t like it change it to Aisle then back to Window and you will sometimes get a different spot.

If you really need a specific seat you can call JAL and ask them to move you. But usually, the above workaround gets you what you need.
