    I had selected seat 8A earlier in the week
    I went to the app to check in this morning, and although the home screen still shows 8A, when I select “check-in” I am told that I am seat 9E.
    I selected a window seat specifically because that is where I wish to sit, I certainly don’t want to sit in the middle seat.
    There is no option any more to change my seat in the app.
    What are my options, am I just making a big deal over nothing and I should just deal with it?

    I have figured out how to change my seat now, but if I want a window seat, I would now have to go as far back as row 21!

    Curtain move? If so, you played roulette and lost 😉

    It does seem like a curtain move, as row 8 is no longer visible in the seat selection.
    I guess that they don’t mind annoying the cheap gold members anymore.

    Curtain roulette requires checks a couple of times per day in the run up to a departure! And at peak times don’t bank on being able to sit further forward than row 14 😂

    (Switches to BA app to check exit row seats in May …)
