Although we have confirmed B class can't even reserve exit seats just to be sure in case we ended up in economy. Do not know why, I am able to pick the exit seats in Manage my trip seats will not be saved in the reservation. Any thoughts how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

Is this some kind of Z fare for KOA-PRG that delegated to B on KOA-LAX because inventory was Z0 on that leg? In my very limited experience, that should allow both E+ selection on the B leg, and it should be possible to put an instrument on it. Did you get an agent to somehow waitlist for Z on that leg already? I've not heard of that being possible, but if it is the case, it would make sense that you can't apply MUA since you already have a waitlist request on that segment.
