This is the beginning here as you're traveling on a mileage award. I'm not sure if there's a link here, but BA made a few pax stand in the aircraft because it was oversold and people traveling on award seats can't be bumped. I remember that one person was "confirmed" in J class but ended up just standing the entire flight -- which was from LON to JNB (Johannesburg), I think.

Now that's not cool, esp. if it's airport operations, as opposed to weather.

Money (and elite status) talks.

Maybe the original poster was referring to connecting pax who flew into LON in F/J?
