Release of Unfilled MVP seats
Can anyone tell me when AS releases unsold MVP seats rows 6-10. Is it the day of the flight or 24 hours prior, etc. I assume getting to check-in early may help to be moved up.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you do web check-in 24 hours prior to departure, the remaining seats within the elite/full fare pax section should be made available for online seat selection. However, my experience is that they do not open up the exit row seats when you do online check-in (assuming you are not an AS elite or on a full fare ticket), so you would have to ask at the airport for an exit row.
