Looks like they've finally restricted non-status pax from taking the premium seats. Flight is for the 28th.
It's been like this since they allowed non-status passengers to select seats using online check-in. They also restrict the availability of these seats on easy check-in or self service-check-in or quick check-in or express check-in or rapid check-in or the whatever they are called machines.
