Weird Booked Pattern in E+
 
Hmmm. Never seen this before.

Flying SFO-MEL next week. This is a 747-400 which has
a 3-4-3 seating. E+ has people distributed throughout
the E+ seats.

However, on the return on Dec 10th both MEL-SYD
and SYD-SFO has the entire central column of
seats in E+ (i.e. the 4) booked! But there are plenty
of seats in the two 3 areas. What's up with that?
Is than indicative of a group booking.

Could be a group, could be a bug.

Most of the seat maps of the new config planes have blocked E+ seats. It may be because UA.com is not used to it yet.

But that's usually the right side of the plane, not the middle.

I have seen this before
 
I have seen this very thing on other flights where a large tour has booked. they seem to block a bunch of seats, but not assign them until the party checks in.

Could be a group of bugs. Many things are possible.

But this is in E+. So everyone in the tour group has status? Does
United throw in E+ if you book a very large group?
