You are right, in row 7 it is 7A/K that are invariably blocked. This is true even for July 18, 2010, which just opened for booking.

Why 5CH but 7AK? I was thinking bassinets, but that would be the same in rows 5 and 7, no?

In any case, if it's being saved for babies (so many babies in J?), then there is no way for 2 people to get window+aisle seats in these preferred rows.


PS Does anyone have any comment on row 6, which IS open on all flights? Seatexpert says that some may be disturbed by opening and closing of curtains from galley behind, but it doesn't seem to me to be a big deal since it's behind you.
