Likely no, you’ll get a middle. Probably the best you can do is get an exit row middle so at least you have more leg room. Otherwise I think you may still be able to pay 14.95 for a priority spot if it’s worth it to you

I got aisle row 5 with C03 a couple weeks ago, so sometimes you just randomly get lucky. If only middles are left, look for 2 people that look like they're together (sitting aisle window with empty middle) and ask to sit there. Decent chance they will let you have window or aisle. I call this "unite the couple".

14.95, try $40. If it’s a long flight it may be worth it

Got a C1 for tmrw, wondering the same!

Also if your fare is Anytime, go to a kiosk to print a boarding pass. When you do this, if there are any business select spots left, it will let you upgrade (usually $15-$25) and you'll get in A1-15. You also get a free drink coupon and extra points.

C1 you don’t get the extra points

If you upgrade your actual fare to Business Select you do. If you to the $40 early boarding thing at the gate you don't.

Before getting status my strategy was to feign illness and require extra time to board. They give you a blue pass to pre board you DGAF about the evil looks.

@huron lol - I wouldn’t be able to pull that off

I’ve sharpened my acting skills after many consulting years ;)

Take the first middle seat you see. You'll get off faster
