Seat Shifting Policy for Status Passengers
After wading through many threads about seat shifting and moves for operational reasons (particularly at the time of OLCI), I was wondering if there is a specific BA policy that allows higher status passengers to oust lower status (or no status) passengers that have already assigned their seats long before travelling. One thread even mentions that Golds could do that themselves through their own MMB by not showing the seats as occupied - I couldn't find anything conclusive on the matter.
I have an upcoming flight (somewhat distant future) where I lost my selected seat both on the way in and the way out, so this comes as a bit of a surprise - particularly as it is not a bassinet seat and the plane has not been changed.
Could someone please shed some light on this - or at least point me in the right direction?
