I have admittedly not read this whole thread but do we know how TS applies to Euroflyer routes from LGW? On my last 3 flights I have reserved A and C exit seats in ET for myself and Mrs Tafflyer (both Gold) and in each case the middle seat has been allocated to other passengers at the airport. I understand exit seats are sought after, but in each case there were plenty of other middle seats free and the passengers taking the middle seats were either non-status or Gold. (I saw the boarding passes). I refuse to pay the currently exorbitant CE fares on this route for the free middle seat which is the single benefit I get for the extra fare considering I get the rest with status and the meal is mostly inedible anyway.

Are ground staff willingly overriding TS or does this not apply to the Euroflyer brand ?
