can't believe this is still going on. I would be furious if they moved me out of 64A.
Just wondered if out of all the peeps been moved, have any Golds been moved ? There was a mention on this thread maybe it was 'special services' moving the seats around,,.

Well I have just moved myself to 62K from 64K on my next upper deck flight just in case. I would rather be guaranteed 62K then risk 19E for example....

I just checked and on my flight the only seats now available on the upper deck are 64A and B and 64J.
Now I would move back to my PAID FOR selection of 64A and 64B - however - if there is a policy now that these are reserved for Gold or infants etc - I do not want to be moved from row 64 to the main deck and if I was I would expect a full refund of $250.00
Therefore not sure whether to stay where they have put me 63A and 63B or move to row 64.
If they could release a statement explaining the reason we would know there is a high risk of losing these seats at the last moment anyway.
If the reason is simply a computer glitch I would like my seats back!
It's up to me to choose to take them back but I am not sure.
And if you think this seems a little picky remember we were charged $250 for the privilege of having a choice.
This is not a choice!

It is a good point £80 per leg per passenger, is a huge amount to pay for upper deck. I guess market forces must low it but surely they should be pretty much guaranteed for this.
I think reading the various threads a glitch occured on Monday that is now rectified so all those who were moved should move themselves back if not their original seats havne'nt resold!

Some people just don't know how fortunate they are!
Having seen B744s replaced with A321s LHR-CAI (not to mention the move from T5 to T1
) I'd currently give my right arm to be able to select a seat anywhere on the Upper Deck.

Uh Phil I do know how fortunate we are to be able to pay for this privilege - however this is one change too many.
We were on the A380 with Qantas with free seat selection.
We are now on BA 747 and having to pay a lot of money to choose our seats in advance.
They have now shifted us with no real explanation.
This thread is about seat changing.
As Swanhunter said - if it's about row 64 not being available for pre-selection that's fine - just refund the payment made and allow us to make the choice whether to pay again for other available seats.
But to shift us to another seat and not explain why - and then still have your paid for seats available does not make sense and warrants a better explanation so we can decide whether to return to our chosen seats.

Just checked a Hotline booking I have for two relatives, for September this year, as I had prepaid all the seats for them as a gift, they too have been bumped from 64JK. Sales and Res say there are no other seats available on the upper deck, even though it's empty!!! She did say it was a change that went through a few days ago and not a system error. If you had paid for various seats you are getting thrown out of them and may not be allocated others on the upper deck. Not happy and I work for the blasted Company.
