they can also block out certain seats and even end advance seat assignment when a certain percentage is hit.
So, if I am not Elite but pay full fare for CW I can't get any decent seats as all of those will be blocked?
I managed to get an exit row on the upper deck for my upcoming trip to LAX - something I'd not be able to do with LH for example as all goods seats are blocked.
I think BA's current policy if fair, although I'd prefer if we went back to being able to reserve seats regardless of the status/booking class and no blocked seats!
