^^ I have the 125-XXXX ETKT number, so I hope I am OK with that regard... I just booked the flight and made no changes.
I also checked expertflyer and there seems to be plenty of availability in every booking class, so it's unlikely to be overbooked (but, again, I'm new to BA so I am not sure about their availability behaviors

).
Thanks for the answer, now I'm less worried.
About the op-up - that would be amazing, I've never tried BA F

but I've learned to have very little hope on these...
