Well, I cannot pre-book with BA due to my only being a blue card holder and the fact that I only paid a few thousand pounds and not the "full fare" for J class! BA's wonderful rules.
Therefore even although I booked ages ago, if you booked today and had "status" then you would get to pre-book your seat - I have to wait until OLCI.
Very frustarting - but, hey, we get to be so greatful if they manage to find us a good seat at the gate!

Life is so much fun....
And then I am so looking forward to wiating for six hours between flights at LHR in their cramped Club Lounge at T4.

Oh and there is of course the wonderful transfer between LGW and LHR, again because BA gets so much more revenue from long haul, and so if you are from Inverness, as I am, then there are no flights to LHR - there did used to be - BA and BMI(until March).......
