Returned in PP on LHR-SFO flight Saturday Feb9th.
I seem to remember having a fine premium meal in PP on flight from MUC to SFO
but last two time in PP have been economy food.
Maybe they tried to see how the service needed to be rolled out, got their info and went back to E+ till actual rollout?

just a theory.

Strange seat map on 777-200 in Old First

I'm flying on 4/30 from ORD-BRU (UA 972) on a 777-200 in an old style plane. When looking at the seat map in reservations, it shows 1 C, H, 2 C, H, K all available. It doesn't show these as an option in my seat selection, where I'm in row 6 (8 across business). I called up reservations who said these seats are not available. Are they reserving these for higher status customers (I'm silver) or is this a system glitch? Any advice as to how to continue to monitor/give up on getting these former First Class seats?

Thanks in advance

Only GS can book those seats in advance. Up to a week ago, 1Ks could also book those seats in advance but that option disappeared. Supposedly they'll open up at the gate for other passengers but nobody knows yet how things are supposed to happen, like for example if it will only be for 1Ks or for any passenger booked in J (or upgraded to J).

They are now only able to be selected in advance by Global Services passengers. This is a recent change. About a week ago, they were also able to be selected by 1K members.
