It just says...
Passenger is not eligible for this seat. Please select a new seat.

Travelnet says that flight has 15 open seats and 31 on that airport standby number.

I've had that happen before, too. Same deal. Middle seat. I tried again later after some seats opened up and switched around and was able to get a window seat in economy comfort with ease.

So, maybe there is something that keeps us from picking economy comfort middle seats but not economy comfort window seats? :confused:

That may be it, I noticed there were a few middle E/C seats open, I found the one E/C window seat and it let me change to that, maybe it won't let us pick a middle seat?

Yeah, you're right. Thanks to your heads up, I looked at my stupid DH on Sunday. Same thing. Middle seat. Shows all kinds of EC seats available but just locks up when I pick one. Maybe it has to be inside 24 hours.

This, however, is something that definitely needs to be fixed. We shouldn't have to work our own travel on a scheduled DH. I also love the deer in the headlights look on the gate agent when we show up and say "hey, we're your deadheaders." Like we're trying to pimp a ride. C'mon Delta. Fix this!

I, thanks to being on rsv, always end up with a dhd within 24 hours. It used to not let me pick economy comfort until i checked in... now it will when i pick out my seat!

More better... although I always sign in with newK locator number. That dude gets it done!

It must be newK's locator. I tried Barack Obama's locator and that didn't work. I did have the option for an in-seat TelePrompTer, however.

I'll try it again mañana when I'm inside 24 hours. Anybody else laying over in balmy MSP Sunday night?

B-0B4M4 no longer works as a locator. You have to check in as T-P41N. That guy has your rez and gets it done. Sorry you didn't get the memo. It was the one prior to the gatehouse PA one!

I've always been able to book the E/C seats way more than 24 hours out, not the one middle seat though, I never book a middle seat. I'd rather walk. Maybe it will only release the middle E/C seat inside 24?

I'll be in MSP on New Years Eve, heading out to NRT...

On a brighter note, we had one 44yr. F/A on her last flight today from NRT to LAX, and on my DH to MCO, we had one 40yr. F/A who is retiring at the end of Nov.
