Then check at OLCI, then use with one of the chickens at the airport and finally with the gate agent.

It used to be that all E+ seats were the same cost..not anymore. You'll only be able to assign yourself to an E+ seat that costs the same or less than the one you paid for. On board the plane they haven't moved to enforcement of that so if something is open and you're already in E+ you'd likely be able to move.
I never knew that-thanks for the furthering education ^ on the continuing nickle and dime saga of COdbaUA
