There are three possible contributing factors to what you are seeing:[list][*]Some seats are reserved for elite FF members and may be shown as being unavailable but are not yet allocated to anyone.[*]QF25 is a multi-sector flight and some seats may be reserved for through passengers commencing in MEL. This is done to limit the need for through passengers to change seats at AKL.[*]Qantas is willing to oversell the cabin on the assumption that between now and the flight date there will be cancellations and no-shows.
