I hope I can give them an extra $500 for the F seats. Per the advice above, I'll be checking the inventory of the next few weeks. There are four F seats available on the outbound and six on the return. If it gets down to two, I might bite the bullet and pay the difference, at least for the return.

One more question. I normally would have paid the $50 for the exit row seat, but since I hope to buy the upgrade, I didn't do that. If the upgrade is not available, is there still a chance to buy the $50 premium seat when you do the online check in (if available)?
