For those who got an offer - were you able to select a seat at the point when the offer was accepted? If I get it, I don't want to wait until check-in at airport and rather want to call EY office directly or select the seat online if that's possible...

Update: My bid for AUH-NRT J to F was just accepted (almost 80hrs before departure!), on just a tiny bit above the minimum USD 650 (approx USD 660). My initial W (Business) class is now changed to R (First) class, and the seat selection is also possible under the reservation system of a travel agent where I've arranged the ticket from.
