Both times when I did the seat change, 1A was showing as open on the seat map. After I checked in, 1A was showing as taken.

Neither plane was full and indeed there was no one in 1A on either flight.

Perhaps an attempt to avoid any potential weight & balance issues where they might have to move pax around? Just a thought-not a good one but the only thing I can think of
