How many days before flight day, BA assign seats for family?
On the BA website, it states that if you are traveling with child under 12 ys ol, child will be seated with adult. I know that BA cannot guarantee all three of us seating together. Question is about how many days before the flight day does BA assign the seats? Our flight is 6/12th from LAX to LHR.
Can't believe the price to select a seat has gone up since my last flight in 2014!!!

I had a flight last week in CE and my son who is 11 was not seated by us when it came to check in and there was no spare seats.
When I got to the airport to drop bags I asked why he wasn't sat with an adult and was told it was not BA policy anymore.
Not sure if this is an outstation providing duff information.

Was it a reward by any chance? I didn’t see allocated seating with my 4yr old about 10 days ago. Called up and it was (apparently) because she was ticketed in error as an adult. Seems possible that could slip through the net as with RFS you never see the underlying taxes to check an under-12 has been correctly categorised.

1. Assigned T-7, changeable for free shortly after
2. No OLCI or ability to change regardless of payment
3. Assigned T-7, only changeable with payment until OLCI
4. Assigned T-5, became changeable for free T-2
2. was PMO which I understand has systems issues, 3. was in CE so possibly all seats had a “premium” price. Has anyone else observed this happening?

It's T-3 timing before the flight on 6/12th(9:35pm) and no seat assignment yet as family. Getting little nervous here and ready to purchase the tixs now or wait another day and see what happens?
Still lot of seats available in WT sections.
