I’m due to fly Club World to Japan on Tuesday, BA0005, with two reward seats.
I’ve been periodically checking the seat map (planning to select seats at check-in 24h before).
Today, the seat map shows no seats left available. There were 5 left yesterday.
Can anyone advise – is this an early warning sign that we’ve been involuntarily downgraded?
I know I can find out definitively tomorrow lunchtime, but I’m keen to begin managing my expectations if it’s likely.
Not necessarily, BA often assigns seats a few days out and you’ll be able to see this at OLCI. It sounds like it could well be a full cabin though, so it may not be possible to change seats at T-24.
You won’t know for sure until you get to the airport, however, and things can change on the day like people no-showing.
There are two unallocated seats in Club (blocked so not currently available to you), plus one free in First for someone (else) to be potentially upgraded in to freeing up another Club seat, so nothing to worry about at this point.
Thank you both.
