However there are about 6 to 12 sets of seats that are only 2 each where the fuselage narrows near the back of the aircraft. No matter how many months in advance that one checks I have never seen these seats available to be chosen on line. I am wondering if I go to a local travel agency if they would have access to those seats. Or do the airlines just routinely block certain seats?
not sure what airline you are looking at, but for some/most airlines those 2 seaters are considered premium seats, that are only selectable by their frequent flyers at time of booking, or offered for a premium. Sometimes these seats open up for selection at time of checkin.
