i flew to ibiza on thursday night, was waitlisted for a flight which i knew was not full in J, but anyway - the BA agent said don't worry it will clear,
as i was going to change my destination.

got the boarding passes chucked at us at the service desk and didn't think to check the class as the que was soo long wouldn't have time to change.

went to the lounge was allowed access without showing FF cards - im QF Plat - so supidly still thought nothing of the seating.

the rows were towards the front but we were not seated together.
so thought we can get someone to move around on plane
- suprise rows 1,2 only for J rest was Y.
we asked about getting seated together and was told everyone was partnered up (they weren;t)
after the plane doors closed we approached the purser and had a polite discussion (polite argument ) about why we couldn't sit together let alone sitting in J as we had a AONE4 ticket the purser didn;t know what C/D J etc meant and was just doing his job,

J had 2 paxs in it - and they said we cannot sit together up front no matter what unless we hand over £100 or so p/p

tried to call the ground staff - couldn't get through, said he would try through the captain,


they said no we were in Y!!
half way through flight they got a fax and moved us up front -

the whole time it looked as though we were trying to upgrade for nought and delaying the plane etc . v embarrising for us both , then other pax's made comments about people being upgraded but they can't use the J loo's etc.

the purser later apologised etc..

All we cared about was sitting together not so much the J seats.

BA cust serv just said write a letter - why should i pay out for J and write a bloody letter..

what should i expect.?
