Is there a problem reporting data to expertflyer or are all the flights completely booked out in Y? Without seeing the seat map I'm loathe to call in regarding selecting a seat on the waitlisted segments
As far as I can see by checking only your 1st flight, it is not booked out in Y (at least 7 are shown for Y class).
Below is your flight's seat map: EF shows all seats that are cost-free for *G prior to OLCI as blocked (i.e. the ones in the back), while paid seats are denoted by $P. In addition, the up-front aisle seats are also shown as blocked too (no idea why). Any *reserved* seats (whether free or paid), are shown in blue.
So basically any seat which is *not* entirely marked in blue, is actually available (even if marked as blocked).
