It's a game I wouldn't mind playing if if was just me and the missus flying, but I don't want to leave my mum n' dad in the lurch if seats fail to appear!
Are you willing to travel in 2 pairs on different routes? If so, it will probably be worth snapping them up as getting 4 seats TOTAL on your dates may be a stretch. Chances of another 2 popping up are slim on the same flight, but certainly not impossible. You will definitely need to keep checking for availability though.
