At 4h prior to departure my pre-selceted seat was showing none so I was hoepfull to get an upgrade at check-in. Check-in agent told me flight was overbooked by 20 but still gave me a Y seat and not the one I had selected. Instead I got a seat in the middle of 4!! Really? Anyways the Check-in agent said there is a very likely chance I will be upgraded. And so everything turned out fine
