Seat Select is not available on this flight (Operated by ANZ)
Currently the message showing for NZ29 from Houston IAH to AKL on Nov 15 for our premium economy seats. I read in another thread this could be related to equipment swapping issues but also read the 787 servicing the IAH route is not one with the engine issue.
Plus, when trying to book a new ticket on that flight - Premium Economy shows as "Not available on this flight".
Trying to determine if Premium Economy is just currently sold out (offering no new tickets to be purchased and no possibility to move seating) or if this is indicative of a future aircraft swap? I've been trying to monitor closely to make adjustments as necessary to travel on Air New Zealand metal. (Also trying to avoid calling in as the hold times have been lengthy lately)

According to Expert Flyer, IAH to AKL on 25 Nov is a 789. There are currently 9 unallocated seats in Premium Economy.
The reference to Routesonline in previous reply actually shows the change to 777 occurring on 26th Nov.

EF showing 9 free means there is 9± free, as AirNZ only shows 9 max, as 10+ bookings have to go to group travel

Does EF say anything about IAH to AKL on Nov 15? (That's what was in my original post). I get an error message when I check EF - I did end up speaking with ANZ who just said the cabin was full and any seat changes would have to be done at the airport.
