Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:
If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:
1. Actual travel date (don't say tomorrow, or similar, as that is ambiguous given the global flyertalk membership)
2. Departure and arrival airport codes
3. Flight number
Thanks!

5 of us are travelling on 2 separate bookings in two weeks and we want to upgrade from WTP. I’m not sure if one of us upgrades first the offer would then disappear for the other booking.

its ba2166 tpa-lgw on Jan 15th.

thanks!
In principle, no. However, looking at the loading on that flight:

BA 2166 TPA LGW
01/15/22 4:55 PM

01/16/22 6:15 AM 777
Su,M,W,Th,Sa
NA / NA
J9 C9 D9 R9 I9 W4 E0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q0 O9 G9

I see that Business looks wide open, as does Economy with Premium currently only offering 4 seats for sale in the most expensive bucket. This does lead me to believe that BA will want to free up some WT+ and this might be good for you. Check regularly on the App and in MMB and if nothing offered there then you can ask at the airport if there are any special upgrade offers. (AUP). It’s all speculation of course, but you might be lucky.

They are already offering it for £399 which seems like a good deal. Just wasn’t sure if there would be 5 available for that price. If it’s wide open then might be lucky. Thanks for checking!

Hi again! I've just seen someone on Facebook mention that this is a common issue on 3 class 777s with Club Suites. The suggested workaround was to use the Royal Jordanian site to see the full seat map.

Thanks. I just tried it. Got to mmb and put the pnr number in. It brought my reservation up. When I scrolled down to the services section it had my seat assignments and a button for the seat map. It would not bring up the seat map? Again, I do want to thank you for all your help on this.
