That happens a lot, usually when we are coming to the end of the season. We regularly are told not to move anyone on lightly loaded flights . They are free to move seats in the cruise phase but have to sit in thier assigned seats for take off and landing. Whether it happen here, no idea. (I don't work for BA just another airline)
