Unable to reserve seats or purchase E+ greater that 330 days out?
Hi,
I have a couple of Economy award flights booked from HNL to SFO in January 2016.
Seat map is available and showing wide open everywhere. Tried to purchase a couple of E+ seats but when trying to pay it errors out saying seat assignments are restricted on this flight and need to be selected upon check in. I can't even select a normal Economy seat, just get the same error. (I have no status with UA)
United is though reserving money on my credit card everytime I try to book an E+ seat, I guess that will just drop off after a few days so am not worried about that for now.
Is it worth phoning up and seeing if I can purchase a couple of E+ seats over the phone? Don't United want my money!! Your thoughts would be appreciated.
