I talked to my TA again (well, an email conversation)... I asked her to talk to BA or whoever to see whether seats can be freed up. She said she talked to BA and they said they simply haven't opened up the yield yet. BA said they'll chase it (presumably with London), but basically said 'wait and see'...
My initial reaction was that since the flight is so far away (April), I'm not too worried. On the other hand, I'm already on a tight timeframe, and I don't want to cut into my London stopover...
I don't have my tickets yet, I haven't paid for it except a deposit. The itinerary on things like CheckMyTrip and QFF show that flight to be waitlisted.
Thanks.
