Your flight is still at least two weeks away, and these six seats are likely to be sold before then.

On the bright side, choosing the buy-up option is a much better strategy than waitlisting, especially if some seats remain unsold before departure.
Even more positively, the Premium Plus seat is perfectly suitable for a daytime flight if you cannot get a Polaris seat.
