Family holiday coming up next weekend. Going out in F and back in J. Unfortunately on two seperate PNRs, but have booked us in 2A, 2K and 3A on the way out with two of us on the upper deck on the return - will scrabble for another one at T-24.

I went into MMB today to see how things look and was surprised to find the seatmap showing me seats 1A and 1K available to swap into (I am only silver). It looks like all the other seats in the cabin are taken and indeed, only two seats are available in F/A class:

F2 A2 J9 C9 D9 R7 I2 E9 Y9 B9 H9 K8 M5 L2 V0 S0 N0 Q0 0 0

BA.COM will only sell two seats as well, so hopefully it will not get oversold.


Things must be looking up for BA in First, as the later flight shows:

F0 A0 J9 C7 D4 R0 I0 E9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M7 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 0 0


Would you move to 1A, 1K and 2A? Am I safe moving (i.e. what are the chances of getting thrown out of those seats and then ending up spread all over the cabin)? I'd rather stay together so am inclined to keep as we are (at least until T-24) however we do have our daughter with us and it might be nice to sit her a bit closer than 2A/2K permit.
