The challenge here is why those seats are actually showing as unavailable to his wife.
If this is post check in - the view should be the same for everyone. It's clearly CE - so non-HBO ...
I've been suspecting there's some actual blocking going on via FLY ... and I could maybe understand if the next door seats to elites were being blocked ... but there's no benefit in blocking off 5A/C to anyone.
Yes good point, I was forgetting this is OLCI and those are odd seats to block.
Would it be weight distribution? Not something I'd usually expect on 320 family but I only say it as I'm used to random blocking and seat shifting on the LCY flights for that reason.
