At that time, a lot of 'premium' seats (like exit rows and adjacent seats in the front few rows with expanded leg room) tend to become available. Not a guarantee, and not as good as seeing choices ahead of time...but a decent strategy.
I've noticed this too and wondered about it.
The seat map 24+ hours out shows the premium seats as occupied, yet they magically open up with OLCI.
It is not as if they are moving those pax to the first class cabin as on the legacy carriers.
Did anyone notice that on ABC Nightly News (I think that was the TV channel) they mentioned that B6 is now charing extra $ for premium seats?
Checking this forum, I see no discussion of this.
Did B6 in fact, implement such a policy?
