Morning all,
We have a one-way 241 redemption booked for next year, and will shortly be calling to add a return leg when the reward seats become available in a few days (open jaw).
Can anyone advise if the additional seat availability that opens up when using a 241 will still be applicable on the return leg when I call BA?
Many thanks.
You won’t see any additional reward seats at D-355.
The additional availability unlocked by the voucher is something that occurs as you get nearer travel date, BA may make more seats available as they tinker with fare classes based on how cash sales are performing.
I think what you’re asking is if the extra seats can be accessed if you’ve already used the voucher on the outbound? BA phone agent will be able to see them, you won’t, and as noted they’re not usually there until some time after T-355.
I have very occasionally seen them at T-355 but not recently. Though that might be due to searching from a region.
I have seen them at T-355 but there you go. If you’re calling at T-355 anyway, you can likely pick from the guaranteed seats anyway.
Changing dates on a 241 booking is one of my biggest annoyances. I really have no way of telling if additional seats are available or not, so need to constantly call BA or ask people who have a voucher.
On a different note, I am looking to travel next month and additional seats are now available on the long haul (these did only just open up at T-30, but sadly LHR-MAN is a real problem in summer hols).
