I'm flying from TPE to NRT on a 744 in J, and the phone agent insisted that the upper deck is not available to anyone. This flight is still three months away. When I asked whether I could request a seat in the UD at check-in, she said, "No, it's closed for this flight."

Is this section of the aircraft closed because of staffing issues? Or, is it closed because it's only open to FC pax? The whole thing was a bit strange.

Can anyone shed light on this issue?

Right now, I'm in 1A, which I guess is pretty cool...
Possible reason --

Upper deck is sold as Economy Class for CI elite FFP passengers in regional flights. The First Class and Business Class in main deck are both sold as Business Class.
