Historically, any seats not needed by VH were released back into the general pool a few days before departure so keep checking MMB in case a load of good seats suddenly appear.
Don't think this is so in this case. Firstly, I have encountered the problem on flights in May/Jun next year, when
every seat, in all classes, is unavailable for selection. I know this having dummy bookings. Secondly, having contacted them, I was advised by VS that the problems were being caused by an 'IT glitch' that would be fixed in 'a couple of days'. This was 10 days ago. Now I fully appreciate that all of us at some stage or another can experience a computer screw up but it really is irritating for this still to be happening over a week from the date by which VS assured it would be fixed.
