Selling class is now "U" on both legs, I paid full cash for this, should this be an issue of any sort? According to this FT post this is a miles redemption bracket and I will not get any Avios, TP's and could get bump as a non paying customer. I paid in cash for the ticket and upgraded, in cash.

Flight is ticketed

So you booked a cash WT+ ticket which you then upgraded to Club World presumably using Avios? If that is the case then U is correct but you will earn TPs and Avios based on the underlying commercial fare (W, E or T as appropriate). Nothing to worry about!

No, I paid cash on the ticket and paid cash to upgrade.

Also out of interest I wanted to see the price for F
I assume after upgrading 1 class you can't go any further?

It just errors out.

I also cannot choose a seat. I am thinking they have messed it up.

"Seat choices are only available at check-in."

Depends. If you don't have status, this is correct.

OSIModel

Does it not even give you the option to pay.

henkybaby

That it should...

However it might not have ticketed which can break the seat assignment process.

Is there a re issued ticket there? If so I would make a quick phone call just to check the "U class" situation, as you should definitely be entitled to the CW TP's and avios on a cash upgrade. If not, at this stage I really wouldn't worry until a few days before travel if this hasn't appeared.

It was all ready ticketed and still is on Armadaus. I do not know If it has been re-issued as I do not know how to check

Isn't U the POUG bucket for CW now?

aidy

yup, its all the same, however if its a cash upgrade it will give the relevant TP's and Avios

I think this will fix itself, if it hasn't already. I upgraded a flight for my partner a couple of days ago and upon logging in to her account to check the seating saw a similar message.

I only upgraded the flight in one direction - seat selection was available for the non-upgraded direction, but not for the upgraded legs (so maybe not a reticketing problem as such, but just related to internal confirmation of the changes?). Anyway, 8 hours later I logged in again, and all was back to normal (offering seat selection on all legs at the usual BA prices - just have to call up now to do the TCP thing).

I suspect that the reason is something like this: If you upgrade (for example) the outbound flight but not the inbound flight, then the agent doing the upgrade will "pull" the ticket "coupon" for the flight that's been upgraded but will leave the other coupon in place. So immediately afterwards, you have reservations for both sectors, but only a ticket for the inbound (non-upgraded) flight. Therefore you can still select a seat on the ticketed flight, but you can't select a seat on the unticketed (upgraded) flight. But as soon as the new ticket is issued (which will normally be a new ticket covering all sectors of the trip), then seat selection is restored for the entire trip.

The OP is very probably still waiting for ticket re-issue, and having upgraded both sectors currently has no ticket for either sector which means no seat selection even for payment.
