Sorry there are no further seats left for pre-allocation.
I'm a little concerned as I am flying with my Girlfriend (not an EC member, I booked her ticket on my miles).
She gets nervous flying & I want to ensure that I at least get a seat next to her.
The past few buisness trips I have made with BA longhaul I have been split from the person I am travelling with (always WT+).
I generally get the middle seats - (6ft & 17 stone, ideal place really

)
Any tips here would really be appreciated ..
Thanks

As I have learnt by having a similar experience with BA'S seat pre-allocation facility, you are banging your head against a brick wall......BA's system is rigid and their staff are unable to assist in such a request.
