Just gets better !
Flew to a regional town today on Rexel.
Visited the website to do seat allocation some days ago.
Website can’t do it at the moment (ie. for many moons) it seems but there’s a phone number.
Call. Menu. Press many buttons. No answer.
Try another day. Same.
Another go. Get what sounds like a competent operator who does the job and even offers to do the return flight. Woohoo !
Tiny noisy slow plane but the seats on the left are singles.
Me like.

Go to check in counter. Different seat. Why ?
Turns out that seat allocation attracts a charge, and because I didn’t pay for the flights I can’t do seat allocation. Sigh .... Feels good to waste half an hour on three calls to achieve nothing. Not.
But I’m paid well so it’s somehow okay as well as infuriating.
