Seat assignment for basic economy
Flying CM for the first time on a basic economy fare. Can someone explain how seat assignment works? Will I be automatically assigned a seat with no option to change for free? Or will I be able to move to a different, non-premium seat during check in? Thanks in advance!

If you dont pay for your selection in advance you will be automatically/randomly assigned during check-in with no option to change it for free.
And if you decide to play the assignment roulette, I advise against paying on-line for the seat after check-in. It gets really quirky (Ive lost the payment money twice), in that case its better to do it over the phone.
