this is theoretical seating in action as of t-72

over time as the cabin fills up more seats will be released, but not specifically at t-48 or t-24. The seating is now very dynamic.

it does create a problem for people on separate tickets trying to get seats together.

In the current environment I would not expect the block to get released, but once you get on board you will probably have a large number of available seats

this is the main thread on the theoretical seating :
