Codeshare flight - CM702 - GRU to PTY ticket sold by Emirates Airlines via COPA Airlines
I bought a ticket from Emirates website for CMB to DXB, DXB to GRU, GRU to PTY. This is all a single ticket issued by Emirates. In this ticket, GRU to PTY is operated by COPA airlines (CM702 flight number).
After the order, I selected my seats for CMB to DXB flight and DXB to GRU flight.
How do I select the seats for GRU to PTY? The Emirates website is saying seat selection isn't available for flights operated by other carries. I took the ticket number and plugged it into COPA airlines website and it's saying that seat selection is not available for this passenger.
Best Answer
First, make sure that you use the correct six letter/digit reference, i.e. the COPA booking reference and not the Emirates reference (which is probably different) or the ticket number (which is a long string of numbers starting with 176).
Seat selection on code share is always hit or miss. Sometimes it's free, sometimes it can be done for a fee and sometimes, it's not available at all.
You can always select seats when you check-in. To make sure you still have a good selection, check in as early as possible.
In your case, you will probably be just fine: Your check-in window opens 23 or 24 hours before your first leg and since you have a whole lot of flying to do before you get to GRU, you are likely to be one of the first passengers to check-in and grab seats. It's also unlikely that the flights are full, so you should have plenty of good options to choose from.
