Is is it worth hanging on the 40 mins or so for the check in desk to open and ask to be moved there or should I just go and drink espresso martinis and forget it.
Personally I would ask to move, though it's a reason (if landside) to not print your boarding pass until the last moment. It may be, however, that the agent cannot get you into these seats since they are earmarked for some couple in WT to get an upgrade, which is one reason - of many - why they are blocked now. WTP ex HKG normally goes out full.
