JL42 and 41 Economy seat reservation
Is it usual for JAL not to allow the reservation of seats on JL42 and 41 LHR-HND and ITM-HND-LHR back booked 7 months in advance.
We are going in December and to grab a reasonable priced and flexible evening flight ITM via HND to get the 02:45 JL41 thought we would book early. It allowed us to reserve seats on the ITM to HND return leg but not LHR-HND and HND-LHR. This is in economy by the way and I have called JAL direct who stated it was the type of ticket booked although it didn't state this restriction when booking.
If this is usual how early will seats open as we are keen to get a pair of seats on either side of the aircraft.
Thanks everyone in advance for replies.
