Calm down
BA will have likely already allocated you seats that will show once OLCI does
If you want specific srats then you’ll have to pay for both.
Also CAA guidance (so not by law) doesn’t say ‘next to’
Young children and infants who are accompanied by adults should ideally be seated in the same seat row as the adult. Where this is not possible, children should be separated by no more than one seat row from accompanying adults. This is because the speed of an emergency evacuation may be affected by adults trying to reach their chidren.
