Seat map discrepancy between booking vs My Trips
Looking at my DL5260 tomorrow, I noticed that Delta's booking engine shows that every single Y seats have been taken whereas My Trip shows that there are 12 other seats that I can choose. What would cause such difference?
FWIW, EF shows Y0 B0 M0 H0 Q0 K0 L0 U0 T0 X0 V0 E0 & EF's seat map shows every seat blocked for tomorrow.

They probably aren't showing them because it's Y0 and hence no way to actually book a coach seat when purchasing a new ticket (even though there are unassigned seats in coach). More than likely, there are numerous pax on BE fares who have yet to be assigned a seat.

Interestingly, EF says that they are full too even though I can change my seats.
Ah I think that may be the answer.

EF used to indicate the seats that were blocked for crew rest, special needs, etc. I haven't seen such seats designated recently, only (I suspect) marking them as occupied. It was good information to have in the past.
