Doesn't work for me, as I still end up using my Asiana Club number after the website rejects the 202 stock number. Do you use Internet Explorer?
I am also booked on suites - booked about 6 months prior to departure, and there was only one seat available for selection (I took it). Since then, nothing was available for assignment (checking flightstats the flight was showing 6 seats available (out of 8)). In the last day or so another seat opened up - flightstats is now showing 7 seats available. So it looks like there might only be one or two seats available for advance selection. But its worth keeping checking.
Is the same practice applied for J seat selections as well? I can't really tell if the cabin is really 3/4 full or are they just blocking most of them. Can't use EF to see which seats are blocked as they don't release seatmaps!
