"If there's a whole row free, or even if there's just a better seat, make a mental note of that seat number.
"You won't be able to select the new seat in the app as it's too close to boarding, so simply go up to the desk and politely ask to have it changed. It's so easy and I can't believe this worked!"
Chelsea clarified that this trick only works if the flight isn't fully booked.
That being said, she has used this tried and tested method a "few times" while flying with Qantas.
