Indeed - I'm ticked off because I'd been able to select two bulkhead seats in PE on a forthcoming flight from HEL-NRT (not bassinet seats I might add) and had them allocated for several weeks.
Login today, and find that I'd been bumped from them into the middle and there's now no way of getting two non-bulkhead window seats together due to load. Check EF and lo, the bulkhead seats are now showing as free. I'll call JAL tomorrow and see what can be done, but it's still annoying that I could've happily kept two non-bulkhead window seats, but due to their system now find myself in worse seats...
