Domestic A320 Config
Just checked some future bookings and the A320 is showing on a domestic flight. Rows 1-12 are showing as Space+. Left hand side is showing as 34-33" while right side is 35-34".

Might not be totally on topic, but what does it mean if you can't select seats for a flight anymore? This is for an international flight in 04/11. It still shows my previous seat that I selected but now it doesn't allow me to change it. Possible change of aircraft type?

What sort of fare are you on?
IF "Seat" or "Seat and Bag", Bruce Parton has indicated that elites will no longer be able to pre-select a seat.
One would presume existing allocations remain.
I do note that I am still able to select seats on a "Seat" booking I have for May.

It was booked as economy before the new fare structure, so it's "the works" I'm assuming. I don't remember exactly but I think the last time this happened my aircraft got changed and it went to a smaller aircraft unfortunately

Yep i've had that happen twice and both times it was equipment change, most recently it was also because of a full flight.

So seat selection has reappeared again, and nothing has changed (phew! still a 777) except that now there are 2 rows of works deluxe seats that have come available. I'm tempted to select them but I'm afraid that if I do, and enough passengers purchase works deluxe fares before the flight, then I may be bumped onto somewhere random in Y. Would the middle seat even be blocked for me anyway if I selected those WD seats? (I'm on a works fare). Perhaps I'll wait until just before the flight to see what the seats are doing.

Just seen the latest(?) Airpoints magazine and it mentions the seating changes that Bruce raised a few weeks ago.
All sounds good buy having dome 2E&F have to disagree with the article that says "For the best leg room: Row 2 DEF." - they referring to 320.
Anyway off soon for a break and a break means well away from desks and those computery thingees.
All enjoy the holidays (if you get them) and wish you all the best for next year.

Perhaps I've been hallucinating all along, but I swear that when I selected 19A on the 767 and checked it multiple times that it said 38" pitch. Now that I think about it, that sounds much too good to be true. Seat map is now showing 19A as having 32" pitch. Original post says that row 19 is the best. Is that still true?
