Think I've made a mistake with seat selection for Sunday's LHR-MAD. At T-72 rows 2 and 4 were showing as available, albeit showing 2-4-2. I selected 2E/2F to see what would happen and the selection has stuck, and shows on Expertflyer as the 2 middle seats in the 1-2-1 config. However reading above it seems like we'll have no hope of keeping these and now I can't see the seatmap on BA.com to change back so I'm stuck!
That'll teach me to mess!

How do you do that out of interest? Do you need to be an account holder on whatever the Qantas FF programme is and then login and go to whatever MMB equivalent is? Is it complex? Never tried to manage a BA booking on anything other than BA website / app. Just curious. Might come in handy one day.

You can also manage BA bookings using QR, AY, RJ and UL websites, although the seat selection doesn't usually stick in my experience. These sites can be a life saver when it comes to changing FF number as BA.com won't let you do this.

Have been trying to book a VLML meal on their website, selected the relevant option and it confirmed a VGML for me instead, and there is now no way to revert to a normal meal. Would prefer to eat around the meat than to suffer a vegan economy airline meal!
Anyway I digress as this is nothing to do with BA 777 LHR-MAD but I'll take any opportunity to bash IB!

Indeed, the first post of this thread refers to 458 and 459, so you're not going crazy! Not sure when the switch was - I must admit I thought it was in the morning too until an IB schedule change a few weeks ago forced me to look at MAD-LHR options in the evening. Perhaps it changed for 2018?

Yeah I flew it a few times on that route - and the return leg time often suited me coming back to London too. Nowadays I seem to be on the 767 quite a bit - all well and good but even for a sentimental old sod like me the nostalgia is wearing a bit thin now. But I really can't abide single aisle 3 abreast full in Y flights so I'll probably keep flying them for now.

While F wasn't available at OLCI, the crew very kindly moved me, Mrsmsm2000uk, and Babymsm2000uk - along with our friends and their baby
First time in F for my 3 month old, and likewise for our friends baby of a similar age.
I only write this, because the chap in 10G (we were originally 10B,D,E,F) was enormously antsy about being seated next to 2 babies.
Fortunately, the crew ensured he wouldn't be disturbed
Happy Friday all.
