Iberia Plus Platinum (OW Emerald) unable to select emergency exit row on LGW-MLE
Hello,
I have a ticket with my IB Plus OW Emerald status number inside PNR, I´m trying to reserve "emergency exit seats" on my MLE-LGW flight on 1st Feb, seats are available, all my requests (dark green seats on BA seatmap, manage my booking are available) still on "seat on request" and none of them is confirmed, I called BA Reservations and they told me that seat are "reserved" for BA Gold customers.
I´m quite frustrated about that as per terms & conditions in the BA page I should be able to reserve them ( I reserve on several LHR-DXB and LHR-JNB last year).
As well, 777 LGW planes do they have VOD as entertainment??
Any help on that will be nice.

Not 100% sure why you can't select an exit seat of you are OWE with IB but maybe someone with more knowledge can answer that.
If they are available then I think seat 17C or H (on a 48J 777) (16C or H if it's a 40J 777) are much, much better than an exit seat. It gets busy with the toilets being there.

However, the MLE flights are 3 class and have AVOD but not the latest one (Thales)
Still, it's quite good overall, plenty of choices having used it in Y quite a few times.

I used 777 4 class service from LHR to DXB several times last year and entertainment was quite good.
