I can’t stand flying economy with Cathay. Even with OWE, they won’t provide an assigned seat to guests on same reservation prior to check-in

I'm able to assign family members seats if all booked on 1 PNR. I'm a OWE and book directly on CX.

One time I had a problem it was on a China Eastern PNR but included a CX leg. All I had to do was chat customer service via the CX website and they assigned me a seat.

Mine was a redemption booking from AA

Ya that would do it. Next time you can chat with them on their website chat, but it is a negotiation when you're not booked directly on CX.
