How frustrating - hopefully
Nicci might be able to assist.

Are they mad? What Can I do? Our flights were booked on BA Miles redemption in Club World - this seems to be the problem. Although there are 48 available Club World seats on the BA122 - we can't seem to have any of them. I know rules are rules - but 48 empty seats and BA are happy to ruin a Honeymoon!
I'm not sure you can draw the conclusion you've done from Expertflyer. What it's showing you is that 48 of the seats
haven't been allocated rather than are available for sale. Under BA's seating policy the only people who can allocate/choose seats are Gold/Silver and full fare travellers - given MRU is a prime honeymoon destination, I'd wager that there are probably a large number of people who book in Club but can't choose a seat until checking in 24 hours prior to their flight.
The only sure fire way to know how many seats have been sold is if one of the BA staff around here were to check the loads - anything else is speculation.
