I can understand blocking a couple seats for babies or premium seats for GO/DM. But still confused over "blocked" vs "premium".

As Crazy182 has mentioned, the seat map is not an accurate way to check availability, because not everyone holding a confirmed reservation has a seat assignment. You still have chance to get on CX829 on 31JUL or 01AUG.
