1A/K - Pre assignment only for GGL/Premium?
Hello,
seems like I am not able to pick either 1A or 1K on a 747 despite me being a GCH.
On BA.com they are showing as taken (greyed-out) whilst on Expert flyer they are showing as "premium only" (free). Am I missing something?

No way...I also tried several dummy bookings in 2015 in F but all I can see is 1A/K greyed out.
Is this a further enhancment for GCHs?

Did you book this before you were Gold? In which case the booking may notionally suggest you are still Silver. Either way you'd need to call and though today wouldn't be a good day to do so (delays are starting to build up at LHR and flights have been cancelled), a quick call to the Gold line first thing tomorrow would resolve the issue.

81romeo - I was in 2A and only managed to change my seat to 1A a couple of days ago once my gold status had filtered through. No idea what my CIV score is though. Moved myself around the cabin today to check with no issues.
