Definitely, those last remaining pairs may get grabbed quickly at OLCI, so paying for seats was definitely worth it. ^

afaik, you cannot change the seats you have chosen once you have paid for them. I could be wrong though...

I am sure i could of but i maybe wrong you guys no more than me.

my understanding was if i pay for seats i secure them seats but if another pair of seats come up for availability T-72 before the flight i can grab them if i can and no one else has gone for them. but like i say i maybe wrong and your more than likely correct

You can change paid seating if you wish to anything which is available when OLCI opens.

sorry, should have been more clear. you are absolutely right srg.

however, before olci opens up, the seats you pick are the seats you get
