If you sign up with their Krissflyer promotion, you can log-in and choose which seats you want up to 48 hours before the flight. I did this on all 4 legs of my return trip to AKL. Depending on your number of passengers there are 3 or 4 rows at the rear which only have 2 seats at the windows which appear to have extra room.

Our last Singapore Airlines flight was a long time ago (1995/1996), so things may have changed, but we could *request* (i.e. not demand)
specific seats (in economy) and got them, both to and from Oz. Same more recently (2000, 2002 and 2003) with British Aiways and Qantas.

Note however that we booked via a (good) travel agency, i.e. not via some general website and also not via the airlines' websites.

We *prepare* ourselves via the *web*, i.e. find out which flights are available at which prices, and then *book* via a *travelagent*. Works every time, i.e. much better service at (effectively) the same price (we only pay a small booking fee, some AU$ 20-25 per person.
