I may ask at the airport if there are any cheap upgrades going, or even ask if there’s a spare window seat just for landing.
I had a feeling there were others involved. Tricky and the seat map looks very static, and obviously with a currently full flight the options remain limited. On the other hand if a family pulls out tomorrow due to somehow having a positive PCR then that would be their loss but your gain. The only other idea is to butter up the IFL and see if there is a staff member travelling to FNC - the IFL may be able to spot some options. It's possible they would allow you to use the empty CE seat just for landing. You're a bit unluckly - the other services to FNC this week aren't quite so full.
