Group bookings generally apply to bookings with 10 or more passengers

BA automatically allocates seating to group and allocation bookings, free of charge, from 7 days before departure. However, there may be occasions when passengers within a larger group or allocation (for example, IT or cruise bookings) wish to pre-assign their seats in advance of this time, either for additional peace of mind or because they are not aware they are part of a group booking. If this applies to you, you need to contact your Travel Agent who can split the individual passengers from the main PNR into a separate bookings. This needs to be done before paid-seating can be requested.
