However, after taking the time to manually count the available seats according to the seat map, there’s actually 93 available seats! Does anybody know why United would lie about how many available seats there are, especially when the number of actual seats are easily verifiable by the seat map they put in front of you? Granted, most people won’t take the time to individually count each seat like I did!
