Separately playing curtain roulette at BA - and you can search for the that term in this forum - tends to result in being cast back to 29E when the seats get programmed into FLY. So you need to be careful about this, not least because 29E may be the best available seat in the house at that stage of the game. And sometimes you can't move out of the new CE row either.
