The 2166 from Tpa to Lgw on March 7th is showing full with all fare classes zeroed out. If the F cabin is available for selection I would go for it if I were you. I think it's going to be in use for that flight.

If FLUB is available it's worth a try, thete are unlikely to be too many golds on the flight given it's a holiday route. (I was told by cabin crew they prioritize gold's in cw into flub). If you don't get upgraded you might just find you can get into some nice seats in CW vacated by others...

We’re travelling back from TPA to LGW on a 4-class 777, practically sold out in Club. 5 Mar.
We have good seats in Club, but for an overnight flight would love to move to FLUB.
At the moment (post T-72) Expert Flyer shows all seats bar 2 bassinets taken in Club, but all of FLUB blocked out. So FLUB will almost certainly open.
We’re both silver.
1) Am I right in thinking that unless the seats miraculously appear on MMB or online check-in we can’t do anything till we get to the airport? e.g. phoning up BA is pointless.
2) Also - in this situation would you avoid checking in until the airport? Or is it better to check in and not print boarding pass?
3) Do the check-in staff understand this situation? I’d imagine they’re contracted, not BA staff.
Thanks!

Flub is not normally opened unless it has to be because it requires crew to be assigned to it.
If you are selected then you don't in my experience get a seat choice.
status helps but only gold and ggl seem to be assigned for sure
check premium economy loads, if that's oversold and club is full then flub is more likely to be opened up
