You can select a preference for window and aisle.
I wish there were also a selection for "don't upgrade me and a companion in comfort+ unless it's a configuration like I already have (two seats on the side)", as I'd rather be in MAIN unless we get that specific configuration.
This right here. When we run into getting separated in upgrades I always try to move both upgraded seats to be window or aisle under the theory someone will happily trade their middle for either and we have options to get back together. I wish I didn’t have to do that and rely on the kindness of strangers though. We turned off upgrades on the last set of flights and just picked exit row because sitting together is more valuable for my wife (who doesn’t fly well) than getting upgraded.
