PRS Restricted ????
I just tried checking seat availability for my upcoming flights on Expertflyer.
I was able to see a mostly empty seat map for business class,
For seat maps in Y and PE, I got this bright red error message back:
There was an error message from the airline when trying to retrieve this seat map: PRS RESTRICTED
EDIT: PRS is pre-reserved seating.
Anyone know why this happens?
Availability on Flight Stats:
C/4 D/4 Z/4 J/7 U/7 E/7 O/5 A/0 Y/7 B/7 M/7 H/7 Q/7 V/7 W/7 T/5 L/1 S/0 G/0 X/0 K/0 P/0
and
C/4 D/4 Z/4 J/2 U/3 E/0 O/0 A/0 Y/7 B/7 M/7 H/7 Q/7 V/7 W/7 T/0 L/0 S/0 G/0 X/0 K/0 P/0
(my chances of a successful one up on that flight are close to zero)

Most likely due to the changeover to the new "Seat Select" system, where you now pay for the chance to pre-select a seat on a lot of NZ services. See here:

i have since learned that there is a major system upgrade for seat selection going on at NZ overnight (NZ time) and everything ought to be back to normal tomorrow.

Seems to be live now. Nice new look and feel but of course the cost function is now built in.
Edit: I can no longer access Space+ on domestic, not even if I want to pay (which I don't). All blocked out.
Edit2: It is also telling me my journey is over 400 hours long since that is the time from the beginning of the first flight to the last flight a few weeks later. Imagine how much they could make out of me for watching movies or ads or whatever over 400 hours.
