Evening folks,

Searched previous threads about seat issues with AA/BA codeshares, but couldn't find an answer to my query.

I recently booked SNN-LHR-DFW-ORD though BA.com for travel in April. The LHR-DFW-ORD legs are codeshare flights with AA. I attempted to pre-select my seats for these flights on the MMB section, which then directed me to the seat maps on AA.com. However, AA.com wouldn't allow me to complete this process.

I rang BA and they happily assigned the seats I was looking for. However, when I check the seat maps once again on AA.com, my requested seats are still appearing as available for selection. My itinerary on checkmytrip.com shows the seats have been assigned to me. So I'm a bit confused as to whether my seats have actually been reserved or not. Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm just concerned that I'll turn up at check-in, only to be assigned different seats (such as the dreaded middle seat) due to someone else selecting those seats online.

Thanks,

Biffo
