for the HND-BKK, as others have reported, the first class cabin was open for selection so I took 4 seats (1D/G, 2D/G) not sure if that is avaialble to all business class passengers regardless of status?
Will I get booted/moved back to business class? I realize the service is still the same in business and first for this route, but not sure if it'll be a problem or the system wasn't supposed to allow me to choose these seats (and if I run the risk of being moved to business class seats and my party of 4 split up and seated randomly and not together)
