Hello-

Flying BOS-LHR tomorrow on morning flight and at exactly T-24 I was unable to check in. After 25 minutes on phone with Silver helpline they were unable to assign me a seat either. Only 2 seats available in CW and both are on hold, only airport staff can release. When I make a dummy booking CW cabin is full for this flight.

It is the first time I haven't paid to book seats in advance (last 2 times they moved me anyway due to faulty seats and no reimbursement). Was hoping to snag by being first in line at OLCI. There were a number still showing available last night.

Does this mean they are likely to bump me off flight? I booked tickets last Sept. so and have someone waiting on me in London so not interested in a later flight,

Thoughts? Does getting to the airport even earlier than normal help with this? Anything else to try?
