When I try to switch our seats to 1A/L, it won't let me. Think it could be worth calling VS back to see if they can do it? or should I just wait and see closer in if 1A/L remain open for us to switch to.

Thanks!

EDIT

Flying Blue just started a status match for USA based flyers. I just completed that and should get approved for Gold. Hopefully that will open up 1A/L for us. Will report back.
