What is odd is then before I booked, it said "only 3 seats left at $xxx" and it still says that after I booked two of those seats.
I just pulled up flight 520 on March 8th and I see 38 open seats when I click on the seat map and all of them are in row 6 through the last exit row. They of course are only available for advance assignment if you have elite status.
