Bolosk. I've just read BA Ask, and I cant OLCI with an infant anyway. Whats the point in freeing up Bassinet positions online, if noone travelling with infant can book them!! So it looks like its a gamble on a t-minus-3hrs airport checkin then.
This amazingly seems to happen quite often, and no answer as to whether it's a computer glitsh that moves you, or whether it is seating people that deliberately move you, to accommodate someone else.
The no OLCI with kids in the booking is a complete nonsense, especially since the priority seating for families with infants, and the keeping-the family-together with pre-seating DO NOT WORK.
In your position, I would go to the airport at 6-7am on the morning, and use the SSCI machines to grab the seats, or go to a desk and get moved around if necessary. I have had to do this in the past.
