Thanks 3Cforme, that would make sense. Todays travel day and I
just checked in @ HNL SkyClub. When asked about a possible confirmation of upgrade from waitlist the attendent (ex-NWA and familiar with me) advised that "oh 296 BKK/NRT, BE seats are all sold but unassigned, that's why seat map shows emptly, never trust seatmap on website". (She then gave the aside, "NW had much better website, but we will get better")

Does this make sense? One would think that if a seat was sold that some formula would drop availablity and randonmly block a seat, even if the Confirmation booking for the customer showed an unassigned seat.
Any experience with this?
This could also explain why I couldn't book this single leg in BE when I attempted to check the system availablity.
