What could happen to me? Should I go to the airport as early as possible to make sure I could fly as scheduled?
That's happened to me a few occasions and I have been OpUp'd to F a number of times when it has happened. It's also happened and I've not been upgraded, just a problem with the OLCI system.

The availability for tonight's flight is below, if there is an oversell it appears to be a Club oversell - so OpUp's and OpDown's may be being considered by the airline. What's your status with BA?
