BA will only try and block the adjacent seat for Golds and even then it isn’t guarenteed for them let alone silvers
Utter tripe! The number of times the seat next to me has been blocked as a silver – including 2C on Cityflyer to Scotland when I got 2D – and even heading back from Europe in Y just after New Year on busy flights – has really surprised me. And I know it’s not the “other” passenger as either the whole row has been free or i’ve put someone from my party in A, me in C and then bingo, B gets blocked out.
I’m sure they’ll release that seat before they do the same for a gold with a seat blocked next to them, but 100% they do this for us lowly silver card holders, too.
It’s not ‘utter tripe’ at all.
BA does not guarentee an empty seat for golds let alone silvers
If it’s been empty for you then great but thats more good luck than a guarentee!
