I can't really be sure, but it does seem odd that your companion's API = OK = checked in, while yours is blank and it's not OK (which would just be a bug). I'd go to the airport a good 15 minutes sooner than normal, it may be they have no issue at all. There are 4 spare First seats, plus presumably your original seat, and though CW looks busy the rest of the aircraft is by no means full. Maybe a defective seat?
