I had an odd one for my recent booking on the GLA-BHD CityFlyer service, where seat selection had blocked off rows 1-3 until yesterday (T-72 hours). All these seats are vacant, and I was able to allocate 2D last night, but I was wondering if this is something that usually happens? That route doesn't sell Club Europe, so the economy seats should all have been up for grabs (unless i'm missing something)? Is this a glitch, or do they usually block these rows (which would normally be kept for CE on other routes) until 3 days out?
