Hi guys

I'm flying with Emirates (economy) at the end of March to Mauritius for 2 weeks for honeymoon from Manchester. I've looked at booking seats in advance and it's an extra £120 for both of us.

All we are really want is to sit next to each other, we aren't too fussed where. I believe that seat selection is free 48 hours before departure, and I'm wondering whether it's likely that we'll still be able to get 2 seats together then? I'm assuming so, but would like to know if anyone has experience of this as its my first time flying with Emirates.

Thanks in advance
