I am trying to get myself and a companion in 2A and 2C, but we can't because 2C is blocked [not occupied] and 2D is booked.

I am not complaining, we got 3D and 3F so we are good, but just wondering...
2C is a potential FAM seat, but no one from AS is allowed to tell you that. I've seen it open, selected it, and then it bounces out and assigns me another seat.
