seat reservations gone? = no seat map
I have two future bookings as part of a DL Vacation package between JFK and LAS. The seats which I selected are "gone", there is a note that the flights are on a "partner" hence NO seat map, "contact DL Vacations".
For each booking I'm in PAID D1/FC. Do any "partners" fly n/s between JFK and LAS?
This may sort out by itself.
(Change of aircraft(?))
PS: Yesterday the seat map was intact.

Wishful thinking, maybe the "normal" FCs are going D1.

I booked them in early April (just after the accelerator promo was opened). On www.delta.com NO seats are selectable; on the app (on my iphone) the D1 seats are selectable (and still what I originally chose), but the "normal" FC seats are NOT.

My seat on JFK-LAS is D1, LAS-JFK is F; on the APP the D1 seats are blue, the F seas are black (which I thought were non-selectable). In any case on www.delta.com for anything related to seating I’m directed to co9ntact DL Vacations.

As it's Saturday (I know this was a bit early on Friday) it's likely a result of schedule change being loaded. They could be getting rid of flight, changing equipment, or moving time. The seat map gets locked a lot of times. I would wait till Sunday or Monday.
Are you sure nothing has changed for this flight? Flight number? Etc? It may be telling to contact DLV due to needing ticket reissued.

On 4/18/21 I did have a flight change [several days after my post #1]. On www.delta.com, each time I try to view the itn the DATE changes: 12/21, next 5/7 etc., even though the flts. #s are now updated, they have me leaving and returning on the same day, arriving in LAS after I've departed.
On the APP everything is correct.
Yesterday, after 1 hour on hold with DL Vacations, I hung up--I'll try again today; there is no callback option.

Sort of follow up:
After 10 tries I got through to DL Vacations 800# (busy, call didn't go through etc. messages) and 2 hours on hold
, DL is having an issue with synchronizing with DL Vacations mainly on www.delta.com.
I have 2 DL Vacation itns, one just had a flt change--both show no seat maps and imply that I'm flying on a "partner" airline. Since my first itn is in late May hopefully things get sorted out by then. DL Vacations use "exception" MQD method, plus accelerator bonus have higher value than regular ticketing and at a lower cost.
