Seats are the hard question. Neither American nor BA could change my seats. My BA app shows “3B”, while the BA rep said I’m confirmed in “13A”, which is not a business class seat. “3B” is also not a seat listed in the configuration on Air Belgiums (AB) website. My BA record locator also did not work on the AB site (figured I would try). (* seat #s are shown as example *)

Edit: When I chatted with AA, I asked them to rebook me on a similar flight out that day (AA86) and they told me I would have to pay to fair difference. Unsure if they received the updated guidance.

Anyone else having any luck?

OMAT just posted an article as well.

I was able to select a seat on ba.com (manage my booking). The seat map matched Air Belgium A330.
