Checking the flight on the JAL website, it won't let me select the seat - everything is blocked off. It still says that I'm ticketed, though.

I know 1A and 1K are generally blocked for selection until the day before the flight - do I just have one of those seats automatically then? Or am I at risk of getting bumped off the flight? Just want to make sure I actually have the ticket I want.
You will not be bumped of the flight, likelihood is that they are just holding seat assignments until OLCI or the airport.
