PHL - FRA LH flight already full for 4/15?
I've got an award ticket on LH, booked through UA, for LH 427 PHL-FRA on 4/13/15. Went online to look at seats (since X tickets, can, thankfully, still reserve seats in advance), and the whole plane is marked as full, except the exit rows. (I've already got 20A and 20C). Checked on UA, and the flight doesn't show up as available at all. But it's available on Priceline for $3000+ per ticket. Just seemed strange that a daily flight is already booked full 8 months out, and/or that Priceline still has tickets while UA and LH don't. Thoughts?
(I'm sure this situation has been covered before, but I couldn't begin to figure out how to search it. Feel free to direct me to another thread).

The flight is pretty open actually:
J9 C9 D9 Z9 P9 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 L9 K9
According to EF, the only seats currently reserved in economy are yours - 20AC. Probably just a glitch.

If you try a dummy booking on this flight on lufthansa.com you can check the seatmap. Apart from 20A/C the only seats currently blocked/reserved (probably the former) are: rows 15-19, 29D/G, 33D, 34G and rows 38-40.

Thanks so much - hadn't realized that LH was blocking even eligible UA tickets from picking seats. The flight still isn't showing up on UA's site even if I'm not logged in and I've cleared my cookies - still strange. And just to confirm, I can't book exit row seats until T-24 check-in, correct?
