JAL Not Selling Open Seats?
I've been looking for an award seat on this HND-HKG flight but I thought I'd see how much they were selling for and I found this. Anyone have any insight on why they wouldn't be selling these seats?
Usually they only show occupied seats as blocked on domestic flights.

Some carriers block several rows in the back of coach to facilitate the assignment of seats together for families on the day of travel. Similarly, bulkhead seats can be blocked for assignment to handicapped passengers.
