Ok so I've got four sectors on CX in economy, on a discounted ticket type so it doesnt allow seat selection until check-in 48 hours in advance.
So I've just been having a look at the seat maps on Expert Flyer to see whether I'm in for a good chance of getting two seats together, and perhaps even exit rows or the twin seats at the back.
However the seat maps look very strange. For the flight in 3 days the seat map looks like this, most seats in the front of both economy cabins are taken, and all the seats at the back are blocked.
But for the flight in 2 days (e.g. under 48 hours away), almost all the seats show as blocked! Does this mean that all of these seats are actually taken?
Are the seats at the rear of the cabin blocked for people checking in 48 hours in advance, or even at the airport? I can't quite work this out!
