I phoned BA who advise the tickets haven’t been issued so I can’t book seats yet. The agent says I need to pay for the flights in full for the tickets to be issued. Before I do this, I just wondered if this is right, or is the agent/BA just after my money sooner than normal? Many thanks for any advice/help. FG
Did you book your vacation via BA.com or from another TA? If you have booked it via another TA, unfortunately, you have to wait until the travel agency issues the ticket.

And, I would like to ask if you have an e-ticket number for your flights at the moment?
