In BA's online booking system, I cannot select seats on the 744 upper deck. So I assume they are blocked for frequent flyers? What would your advice be:

- Either reserve a seat on the lower deck NOW (which costs around 60 pounds)
- or wait 24h prior to checkin to select a seat THEN (which will be free of charge). Will I THEN be able to select a seat on the upper deck?

What would you recommend?

Thanks for an advice

Hi bendamon - aka Ben!

Welcome to Flyertalk and the BA Board...

You would be correct, that the upper deck of the 744 is not included in the "pay to reserve" scheme, and is, by default only available to pre-select by frequent fliers.

I suppose it depends, are you traveling alone? Is there a particular seat you would prefer? Obviously upper deck, but i.e. window, aisle etc...

Regards,
