Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Executive Club Recently Silver – Seat Booking

  • 8 posts

    I am trying to book seats for my partner and myself on a flight to Tokyo, as I have recently just got Silver status. MY Partner made the boking and he is bronze. From reading the BA website, I was under the impression I can now book both of our seats for free –

    “You must be travelling on the booking, or in the case of Gold Members, one of the bookings, for these benefits to apply. They apply to British Airways-operated flights only and are not available on group rate bookings. Enjoy free seat selection – excluding exit row seats on long-haul flights – from the time of booking for everyone in your party. Exit row seats on long-haul flights can be selected for free from 24 hours before departure.”

    I am on the phone to BA now and they are saying this is not the case and we have to pay, due to my partner booking the flight and not me. Is this correct?
