That's not tricky.
Tricky thing is - do you have the return flight? If not, you may be buying a very expensive one-way.
I have the return flights on 24 Jan - seat 30A.
I didn't book any full fare seats...I'm just on the waiting list for the outbound flight (re redeeming my flight award with my points). Seems like a little bit of a lottery, but at least I have a return flight.
