BA's Seat Selection Woes Over? [improvements when the curtain moves in ET]



Well what a pleasant surprise.

With 6C chosen on a Euro Traveller sector, and the usual online check in moment of seeing your seat has been changed, and the system has moved everyone back one row relatively...therefore not displacing me from my favoured seat.

Right enough, I'm not sure how happy I'd have been had I been in an exit row previously.

But a nice improvement - well done BA.

This sounds like a great improvement! I'm alas having some seating woes of my own this morning.

I've just gone from 9F (exit row) to 13A with a ticket re-issue. However, my other half remains in 9E on a separate PNR and 9F is now blocked! The EC tell me curtain is in the process of being moved to row 9 which seems a bit extreme for an early flight on a Saturday morning.

Fingers crossed we get two together somewhere reasonably near the front!

If they're moving exit row pax back a row, it's a huge disaster.

Well we're talking here about ET, where there is no additional charge for exit rows.

Good point. Maybe they keep the exit row pax in their allocated rows, and move everyone else back (i.e. those allocated seats in the row in front of the exit row get moved to the row behind the exit row, etc). I suppose we'll have to wait for someone to be in that situation to find out. I'm not volunteering

No they are going to allocate all rows back to and including the exit row to CE. ET will start one row behind that!

Easy solution perhaps - move everyone back a row, with the exception of the overwing exit rows, which the moved passengers would skip...
