Nobody is saying the same thing.
Anyway after a little bit of assertiveness, he puts me on hold for two minutes and assign me to an Exit Row seat. MMB and classic.checkmytrip confirm. Interestingly the Seat Map shows me there but I am greyed and can not move (not that I want to).
I couldn't assign myself a seat either, and rang the goldline. I was put on hold and the supervisor consulted etc. but still couldn't be assigned. Apparently they don't know where the CE curtain will be yet, but it should definitely be decided before checkin opens at T-24
