Interesting point. It's not for me, I'm trying to advise family who're travelling. They haven't flown transatlantic for a long time, and have a folk memory of BA being a much nicer airline. I've pointed out the different policies on seat selection but hadn't considered that paying for seat selection might actually give you a better outcome.
