Flight under "Aiport Control" 7 weeks out
I have an upcoming paid F flight to AUH on the BA73 on 22nd September.
This has been ticketed for a few months now and seats chosen etc. Today when i go to have a look at in MMB I get the following error......
You can do this by using check in on ba.com which is available from 24 hours before departure."
I had a look on ExpertFlyer and it says that this flight is now under airport control.Why would this be so far out? I was thinking that perhaps with all the issues with the 789 BA may be deciding to run a 3 class 787 on this service?

" Unfortunately it is not possible for you to choose a seat at this time.
Please try again later or alternatively please check in at the earliest opportunity.You can do this by using check in on ba.com which is available from 24 hours before departure."

I suspect it's just an equipment issue, I would leave it a few days, particularly if you can't see CW seating.. Yes there is a risk of a 787-8 swap I guess, and it's possible if you call up that the agent can see more information.

Same here on my return flight from Zurich on Monday 13th August. I was in an exit row seat so here’s hoping it all remains...
I imagine this is more an IT glitch than BA giving Zurich control a week early!
