Any way around this problem? Thanks in advance!

Not possible to change seats on line 48 hours before departure until on line check in opens 24 hours before departure. You can try calling but from my knowledge office staff cannot change seats in such a situation.
There are always I think seats reserved for crew which may be come available by moving crew to rows 1 to 3. Often/usually last row d/s which I would avoid.
