My app still showed the Club seat - previously with op-ups it has been visible here before boarding.

Got the red beep at the gate but it required quite a lot of typing to generate a new BP - previously it has been a simple 'press print' as the new seat has already been assigned. I checked EF again immediately and F seats were 7/8.

I can only assume that I had ended up in some kind of limbo without seat assignment, as my old seat in Club remained occupied after my new BP was issued.

Is this par for the course these days? Weirdly, my app still shows the Club seat.
What status do you hold with BA?

I was on BA126 (in row 5, i.e. just behind F) as well and was very jealous of the people who got to sit up front!
