Hopefully you managed to get 2 F seats in the 10 minutes before then.
Hi Paralytic,

I was checking around 01.10, but as far as I could see only one F seat was actually released at all.

There are two ORD flights (BA294/BA296) and although I wasn't that fussy I would have preferred BA296.

However, I did book a trip in the end - over the phone at 07.30:

  • LHR-IAD in F (as originally planned)
  • LAS-LHR in J (neither F nor ORD!)

Vegas was the original plan but when F availability was practically non-existent we decided we see about sampling A380 First to Washington. Whilst no ORD availability opened up, some J LAS did so we nabbed that.

Do you have any data (out of interest) for release of LAS seats?

Thanks for your help - and also to user nux. Top service as usual from fellow BA FTers.
