As 32A isn't shown in the wiki here, I'm assuming this is just a generic placeholder and not so useful to pin anything down.
The BA seat chooser just shows 5 rows of CE, but I can't scroll up or down to see any further cabin layout. Though I'm guessing that wouldn't help identify the specific cabin anyway since it'd probably just be generic too.
Am I correct that there is no way to get any specific cabin layout detail this far out from my flight, or is there some tool that will show an actually allocated plane/cabin layout this far out?
The actual aircraft won't be decided until a few days before the flight. BA have two configurations that operate the OTP route; the standard new cabin and the ex-bmi aircraft with different seats.
However, there are no bad seats in CE (and that applies to both configs). They are all the same. Generally, try to sit as far forward as possible to ensure you get your meal choice though. I used to hate Row 1 but I swear by it now.
