As a Silver, I obviously can’t book row 1 in advance. However, I was hoping to set an EF alert as to when they became available. No-one is in those seats at the moment and they may well get taken before we fly, but it would be great to be able to book them if they’re still there. For some reason EF won’t let me select them for seat alerts. Is this normal? Do they become available to everyone T-72 if not taken by Golds?

I’ve never been in the nose of a 744 and we’re currently in 2/3K (2A is taken), but I’d love the chance to try row 1.
