! Advance seat assignments are restricted for this flight. Please select a seat during check-in.
Seat Assignments: EWR - BOS: 28D
BOS - EWR: 28E

There are two pax on the reservation, does this mean one seat change wasn't made? Or neither can be made? The flights are almost 3 weeks out.
Just a heads up, as far as the hotel world is concerned, we are not allowed to make any changes what-so-ever to any third party booked reservations without prior express consent from the third party (which means approximately 30 minutes on hold for hotel support and additional time with which the OP is contacted to verify that the change has been verified with the OP).

With Halloween in sight, I thought I would share this particular insight of wisdom. Oddly enough, I have had a person pass away in my hotel before. If you would like to spend the night in the "haunted house" please contact me via PM for the full story.
