As we move Airport systems, [seat] 64A [on the 744] will start to show as a cot position on the seat map whereas previously it did not and unfortunately there isn't a mechanism to advise when this happens.
As it is a cot seat, if we receive a request from a customer with an infant then it may result in us having to move someone from this seat.

Golds no longer able to select 64A?

Just happened to me. 64B Paid Seating. Moved downstairs no compensation or anything. Wouldnt have paid for it if I knew it was in main cabin. Pure theft. If you paid for something in a shop and on the way out they took it from you and gave you something else would that be acceptable?

You've been moved because BA have reinstated the bassinet seat at 64b. Someone more adept than me at searching will be along shortly with a link to the thread.
You should get your £170 back, I imagine.

Higher status passengers cannot kick out those of lower/non status from seats - short of you being a VVIP of course and they don't sit in business anyway.

What's odd is we've been kicked out of 64a&b. The seat plan is now showing that someone else is sitting in 64a leaving 64b empty. I find it hard to believe that someone with a baby is flying to vegas by themselves. It all just seems a bit off! The lady at BA couldn't understand why I was upset.

If the seatmap for the same flight is looked at on a different tool such as Expertflyer, it will show as "X" for blocked, rather than solid blue for occupied.

You may still find when you board that someone without a baby is in the seat, as it will obviously only be used as a bassinet if needed. If not, it will be allocated to another pax around check-in time.

IIRC its quite a lot tighter getting in and out of 20A/K than 64A so you really wouldn't have much room for a bassinet.
