Just booked LHR→Maldives in business for my family of four. Tickets are fully issued, so we went to pick seats, but a ton of them are showing greyed out as “unavailable.” The weird part is: my brother-in-law is on the same flight, and when he goes to the seat map, nothing is blocked.
We’re on Business Saver, which we book every year, and we’ve never seen this before. Is Emirates starting to hold back rows for certain fare types or status levels?
Anyone else run into this recently?
