Mint seats available - but can't book?
Hi all,
I'm a long-time loyal VX Gold interested in trying the Mint product.
I'm looking at a flight in a couple of days (LAX -> BOS). The flight I want shows "N/A" for Mint availability (regardless of whether I choose refundable or non-refundable), yet when I click "seat map" it shows three Mint seats available. It's about 48 hours out from the flight date. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Have you tried calling? Seat maps are not a good gauge of flight loads. It's just of seats that have been specifically reserved. They may have sold out the cabin but people may not have selected the seats.
