I'll report back, if it's like US or UA all Trans flights are full up front.

EDIT: I don't follow directions well, if I click on the seat icon during the res process it shows "format exception error" and doesn't pull up the map.

Hi again,

Yes, you need to NOT use your "manage reservations" link - that will only show you coach seats (IIRC).

If you get "format exception" (like I just did in searching your flight), you'll have to call to find out whether or not any Biz class seats are left. FWIW, I have been successful in getting an upgrade after seeing "format exception"
