Or should I try to check in as early as possible?

Thanks!
depends on a flight load. If it’s a full flight and you check in closer to the deadline you have a chance to score MCE seat I guess. But before checking in I would check away map to make sure there are no open seats in row 99 cuz that’s what you gonna get if it’s open as a punishment for purchasing BE.
