I’m going round in circles! Just booked on the BA site Madrid to Quito on Iberia using 241 for next year.
Via Iberia app, website or BA site can’t book our seats . As Gold , shouldn’t I be able to? I have the BA booking no. And the Iberia number . neither will access the seats.
I’ve read all the various workarounds mentioned and trawled HfP. Where am I going wrong? Do I need to phone up? Am I being too impatient?

By the way, the Iberia site won’t save all our info such as contact. passport etc and I’ve no idea where to locate the FFnumber!

The ability to book seats doesn’t appear for a while, especially if your booking is some months away. I think this is regardless of status, as this is what I found when booking MAD-LIM a few months ago at just under a year out. With regard to the Iberia app not saving your details yes that’s an issue too. I emailed IB CS and they updated it for me within a few days
