Is there any way to tell if a seat which has the "/" is really taken, or just blocked off? I have noticed on my browser that some seats in the premium seating areas (exit rows, bulkhead, etc.) with the "/" seem to have a yellowish outline to them, and I always wondered if the yellowish outline just meant that it was blocked for PLT and EXP?
