Arrrgggghhh.....

How difficult could this be!

Amex, who I booked my ticket through, put my QF number in - on which I am Silver (OWR), so no free seat selection.

I tried to change the number on-line for my QR number - on which I am Gold (OWS), so free seat selection, but it won't work.

Call BA, cannot help as ticket booked through TA.

Call Amex who say BA won't change the FF number until check-in.

How bloody circuitous and frustrating!
