What on earth? No wonder BA is so unpopular.
If you think seat fees on HBO are obnoxious, just wait until they put you in Club World and you have to pay £100+ for a reserved seat across the Atlantic!

That perspective does put BA ahead of the American carriers who do not allow elites free (any?) seat selection on basic tickets.
