Guys, I'm looking at booking a couple of seats on the new EDI-ATL Delta 97 service. Looking in September (I am pretty flexible on dates) I have found that ALL the premium (Emergency exit & Bulk head) seats are BLOCKED and after a few frustrating calls to Delta, they just say, they are blocked until day of departure at the aiport. My wife and I are both Platinum with Delta and they will not allow us to confirm any of these seats. Where as if I book with Continental, with whom I have no FF status (except via SkyTeam), they can confirm an emergency exit row seat.

Anyone explain this ?

Steve.
