I have a connection red eye flight from LAX to ORD and I specfically booked it in first (Z Fare). While I was booking I clicked preview seats and I can see available seats in row 1 and 2 with 5/8 available seats and row 3-10 in first with lots of open seats but during seat selection they are grayed out. Its a 700-200 Version 1.
I called the united helpdesk and they see them grayed out as well. Any ideas? Are they held back?
I tried making a booking with only LAX to ORD and requested a J fare to see if it's blocked off for J and it shows up as available but during booking row 1&2 are grayed out ... Any ideas?
