Are they blocking seats in business class, too? Im a oneworld Emerald, but not with JAL. Is there a way for me to get one of those windows? I dont want a center-section business class seat. Very odd.

I wonder if they open up closer to departure. I can't even set an EF alert because the seats are showing as unoccupied!
