Is your post above saying that 2D / 2F are good seats? If so, I'll look to reserve them. I prefer a bulkhead seat particularly if there's extra legroom for 4+ hours!

I take it from your comment that these seats are better than the standard row1 seats on other BA 320s?
Yes, if it remains as a G-GAT (and that cannot be taken for granted) then 2D and 2F are even better than 1D and 1F on the remaining A320 fleet. Second only to the Embraer 190s. Note this is more about knee room rather than leg room, given that most travellers are able to put their legs under the seat in front in the rest of the cabin.

Thanks for that - as I hoped!

And yes, I'll keep an aircraft change alert on the (probably good) chance that something changes in the next 9-10 months...

Hello,

I am BA Bronze, and have an upcoming CE flight LHR to HEL (this Fri, returning Sun) with my partner.
BA0794 31.01.20 & BA0799 02.02.20

I was able to select seats for the two of us outbound, but for the inbound, all seats are showing as unavailable (shows rows 1-12, 11 and 12 being exit row, with only one seat on each side of the plane??)




Does anyone know why this might be? will I be able to select seats at check-in? I would like us to be able to sit next to each other.

Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.

The 799 on Sunday is rather busy partly due to it being a repatriation flight from the HEL Do Mini do: Helsinki, 31 Jan to 02 Feb, 2020

Having said that there are free seats which I imagine you can't see as they are currently blocked, but they will become available later this week. The free seats are 11C, 12A, 12C, 12D, and 12F so you should be able to sit together. Failing that I am sure the FT'ers can move around on the day to ensure you can sit together

Cheers KARFA, will keep monitoring the seat map!

Apologies to ask again, but it is now showing row 12 as free, but only 1 seat on each side (A and D) as per the screenshot I posted above.

Expert flyer is showing the entire row as free, A, C, D & F.

Does anyone know why this might be?

I have selected us A and D with the view to switch with whoever is in C with our D seat if possible.
