Worse case scenario is we trade the middle for either the window or aisle so we can sit next to each other. I should update and confirm how this works out but the itinerary seems ok.

On another note, I noticed that if you use miles(not e-upgrades) to upgrade, your upgrade clears instantly as if it were a paid upgrade. I have found if I NEED and upgrade (say on a red-eye) and don't want to leave it to chance, I can use miles and be confirmed instantly. Is this true or a fluke?
