Silver/Golds can no longer select Exit Rows in advance?
Well this is very odd.
I have booked an upcoming Euro Traveller flight, where the exit row is shown as blocked, but unoccupied, on Expertflyer. It is also unavailable for selection on BA.com.
I just phoned GGL, who tell me that those seats are 'restricted', and they are unable to assign those seats, nor are they available to send a request down to seating - because 'it is the airport that have restricted them'. 'The airport', in this instance, is Heathrow. I suggested to the friendly lady on the phone that this could be due to the change to Amadeus, but she had no idea.
No exit row for me (or anyone), it would seem. Colleagues and other frequent flyers report the same issue.
