next 5-6 rows of economy (and bulkhead row) are blocked completely - not occupied but blocked - no idea why...

Back of coach is mostly full.
As you haven't posted what flights your on or any details it's not possible to know exactly - but as posted above many seats are for HVC's so you can't select these. Some rows are also reserved solely for airport control.

On Trans Tasman and Pacific Seats 2 Suit routes seating on a 777 will also depend if you're on a seat only or works ticket.
