QF - Front half of plane taken?

[Bajar]

Hi all,

Here's an interesting one for you - I am flying domestically on a couple of QF flights in the coming fortnight and have noticed that all the seats in the front half of the plane are unavailable. Am I seriously that late in reserving seats and they're all gone, or is there a policy where QF blocks out the seats until they reach a certain number of seats sold? Anyone have any thoughts how I could possible snag an Exit Row or a seat closer to the front well ahead of time? Thanks in advance!

Platinum flyers can pick all but first two rows.
Gold can pick from row 11 or 12 back.

At around T80 all seats open up.

PS (Silver) only has access to row 17 and back on 737's and row 16 and back on 717's (don't remember the row numbers for the other types, this is for dom). At T-80 (80 hours before departure) this opens up so you can select anything remaining.

I used to work out T-80 to the minute, and jump online to snag exit rows as they opened up to PS's, so if my flight was departing at 6am on Friday morning I would log onto the QF website at just after 10pm the previous Monday.

That explains heaps - thanks team, really appreciate it.
