Returning CDG-DXB-BNE, Expert Flyer (when I checked) showed a vacant seat on the first leg and blocked on the second. At check in, the agent blocked the middle seat for the first segment - in this case it then showed as occupied (not blocked) on EF, the agent said she couldn't do anything for the second leg, but seems it was already blocked anyway.

So in summary 3 seats between the 2 of us on all segments, so not too bad. We certainly noticed the narrower seat on the B777 compared to the A380 - I would have hated to be 3 abreast for 14 hours on the B777.
Were the seats that appeared blocked near the front of the cabin? Rows 17-21 on the 77W or the first 5-8 or so on the 380 (unsure of row numbers)?

If so they're "preferred seats" that are paid for and this appear blocked on EF if not selected. They never show as vacant
