For example, 2784 LGW-LCA 18 Dec 2026 wouldn’t show seats in Dec 2025 although unusually, the aircraft change could be set and usually, the two go hand in hand.
No problem I thought, I’ll simply wait until January and I’ll be able to take a look then. Erm, no.
Ok, maybe it’s a Gatwick EuroFlyer thing so I’ll try the 660 LHR-LCA on the same day just to check… nope, that doesn’t work either but again, aircraft changes do work.
If I look at November 2026, it’s all systems go.
I get the impression something else that has been fixed has affected this functionality which is what usually happens…
It would be great to have everything firing on all cylinders.
Happy February and as it is now February, I thought I d check the December seats… hooray - I can see them! However, seat data for the Jan 2027 return isn’t available. This does mean that your seat viewing window has reduced from 11 months to 10 as I suspected. This is of no use to anybody who always books BA flights the moment they’re released, 355 days in advance.
Will there be a fix for this EF?
PS: and for some rather bizarre reason, I have 5 schedule change alerts set up for the Jan 2 return and which didn’t stick the last time I tried setting them.
