CW LCY - is this plane shrinking?

Hello. Long time, no post. But I logged in today to choose a seat for a BA3 flight in early Feb and there are only 20 seats on the seat map. The J and K seats in rows 3 to 8 aren't on the seat map at all - just the A and B seats.

A quick glance at other bookings showed this happening on several flights around that time.

Glitch, I presume?

Being held for Gold / OW Emerald members perhaps?

Getting the same here. Must be an IT glitch. Or they are installing an etihad apartment taking up rows 3-8 on the RHS of the aircraft.

Yes, there is definitely something going on. I was in seat 3K on BA4...now I'm in 1K. New bar and luxury shower going in!?

Same on BA4 in June

Mrs Lem suggests "Oooh, maybe they've taken them out and installed a dancefloor!'

Perhaps Len Goodman will be the "guest passenger" on these flights

I'm trying to think what else it could be for...I'm guessing that a bowling alley is out of the question?

As it's Friday: These have been blocked for passengers connecting from the new NQY-SNN feeder flight.

In line with recent enhancements this is now a standing area.

I welcome the dance floor/bar ideas. As long as there's a roped-off area for GGLs...

Seems to be a glitch affecting us all, then - not just the flights I've got booked...
