I'm a practical sort of a guy. I can understand that if the flight is Y0 then the seatmap may still show unassigned seats. But when the flight is:

Ah so not even KVS will show E+....
This is TED to MCO, so heavy leisure and few elites. E+ is often quite open on TED's MCO route
There is also no F, only economy seats.
I checked the flight and there is only 11 people in the E+ (which is Rows 1-11, and that's 66 seats total). (I did not realize there was a screenshot poasted - Thanks jswong!)
You can get 3P nomination from somebody on the Coupon Connection rather cheap these days.

Good idea. Probably not much more than buying E+ for the flight at the airport.Originally Posted by boggs

I've seen a number of seatmaps looking like this recently. I always wonder, is E- really that jammed? I know they don't do seat-blocking, but could some middles appear full when they are actually empty?Originally Posted by jswong

besides E+ blocking, some seats in E- maybe blocked for gate assignment. As has been said before, the public seat maps are not a reliable view of the situation.
