It just means that your seats aren't assigned yet. The seatmap doesn't show all available seats because not all seats are assignable in advance. You will get seats at check-in or at the gate.

If your 2026 boarding pass says "Seat Assigned at Gate" or lists a "Zone" instead of a seat number, it usually means the flight is overbooked or the cabin is currently being reconfigured. Airlines often hold back a percentage of seats for passengers with elite status, families who need to sit together, or to manage the aircraft's weight and balance. It can also occur if you booked a "Basic Economy" fare where seat assignment is only finalized at the last minute. In rare cases, it might indicate that the airline is anticipating a "ship swap" to a different aircraft model. While it can be stressful, it does not necessarily mean you will be bumped; it simply means the gate agent will manually assign your seat about 30–40 minutes before departure. In 2026, this is also a prime opportunity to be voluntarily bumped for travel vouchers if the flight is truly oversold.
