UuA after booking
Hi guys, any ideas if it is possible for me to UuA AFTER I have booked my ticket via the online BA website? I am asking this because the last 3 times I booked, WTP and checked online a few days later, there was UuA availability but I couldn't do it online. There was a popup telling me to phone the local office?
Also, any ideas what I can do to secure the single seat in WTP if at all possible? Do I need to be a gold executive club member ?

You should be able to do it online, but it depends on the complexity of the booking. What was the itinerary of your previous flights?
On selecting a seat, if you're Silver or Gold (or OneWorld equivalent), you can select for free. If you're Bronze, you can select for free at 7 days out. Otherwise you can select your seat at checkin, or pay the stipulated fee to select it in advance.

I have booked a few times before and it is always blocked. If you check at expertflyer, you will know what I mean. Check the BA25 going from LHR to HKG on 1st August. If you look at the layout, there are a couple of X marked seats - these are blocked rather than occupied. I sat in 29A before and it is so awesome. I want to go on that again
I just checked leaving on 2nd August all seats occupied bar one! ... lol. I checked and it is available though to purchase though BA

Thats what I thought.
I actually wanted to ask too. If I checked in to WTP, if there are empty seats in CW - but not displayed in UuA availability online, what are the chances of using my 15k avois to upgrade in the counter?
