yes. Seat assignments seem random.

I was booked on a non-PP 777 during transition from ORD-FRA on the way to BLR. I think we were in the middle section bulkhead. Swapped to a PP aircraft two days out, and was able to select PP seats. A day later, got swapped back to non-PP, and I think we somehow got swapped out of E+ completely. I mean, we were able to get back. E+.

also seen weird swaps on other configs. I think we swapped from a 3-3-3 777 on a domestic route to SFO to a 3-4-3, and even in a side section, my wife’s went from a window to an aisle or middle, and I went from aisle to window in a row or 2 ahead. I don’t think there’s anyway to predict what a aircraft swap will do to seating.
