Just a quicky. There are free seats in the CE cabin but MMB won't let us (both Silvers) move to them - I get the following error message:
Error
Sorry, we are unable to confirm your seat request(s) at this time. Please try again later or check in at the earliest opportunity in order to choose the best available seat(s)
Applies to all free seats in the cabin, not just front row. Particularly annoying on return as we are in DEF seats.

I doubt it but thought I'd check if anyone knows a workaround. Thanks.
