I can't find where I read about this scenario, but I'm in a situation where I have an economy seat in the back of a 777 in an aisle seat, middle section. There are no other assignable (i.e. free) economy seats left, but the E+ section is very wide open (around 70 out of 100 or so unassigned).
Is it likely that if I remove my seat assignment I will get the ability to get an E+ seat (for no charge) at online check in, or will that only happen at the airport when it's certain there are no other E- seats to give me?
