I just tried this method and it completely failed. I was told that since I hold a UA ticket they will not assign me seats. I'm currently booked in 1C on the long-haul 777-300 flights which is really annoying. I hate aisle seats and I don't want to be right next to the galley. Here's to hoping there are open seats when I check-in.

What's worse is the single seat window (A or K) are open on the return and I can't get them. UGH.
