Did you buy basic economy?

Free seats are sold out / assigned. Only seats that are available are economy comfort / emergency exit etc... that they wish to sell or assign at gate.

It means if all seats get bought, you will have no seat lol

You have a reserved “space” on the plane, but you’ll have to speak with someone at the gate to get a seat assignment.

It's not necessarily oversold. Could be that OP doesn't have at least Gold with United, and only economy plus seats remain. Can check using advanced search on United.com

Any idea why they do that? It looks like there’s plenty of seats available but it just won’t let me choose one for free

Those with status, or willing to spend the money, are prioritized. The airline plans to oversell your flight and hopes enough people don’t show up that that isn’t an issue. If it is an issue, those without seat assignments may be out of luck (assuming no one volunteers to step off).

A1 is right - hard to give advice unless we know what type of ticket you bought.

Just standard economy, not basic

SA1 is right. They have already oversold the section that you're in. They'll move others around or put you in one of the better sections is there's still availability when you get to the gate, but if they also sell all those seats before then you may get bumped. You'll probably be fine but that's what it means.

It means you should get status ...

Do you have status on United? If not, then they try checking for open seats at checkin when economy plus opens opens up for the Silvers. If you do, then you will need to wait for United to release the seats they are blocking, like those in bulkhead rows or emergency exit rows...

Ok OP, what’s the latest? Readers want to know!
